Even though these classical art pieces had an original intent to capture daily life experiences of that time period, meme culture has brought them back to today's audiences by giving them new meaning.

There is no better way to introduce our younger generations to classical art than making memes out of them. Creating captions for classical paintings that correlate to modern-day topics and current social issues is what the "Art Memes Central" Instagram page does the best.

Through these hilarious and on-point captions fitted to the paintings, this account has already gained 439K followers, and their popularity is on the rise.

So, without further ado, we invite you to explore these painfully accurate memes and tell us which was your favorite in the comments below.

    Why worship something you can see when you can worship some invisible voice in the sky that tells people to sacrifice their children to them? (Okay at least once lol)

    The only reason I like English: we don't gender f*****g inanimate objects. (I'm learning German and I want to throw my phone out of the window because a church and library are female, but somehow we still ended up with sexism)

    I managed to hold out until late 2022, but the covid demons eventually wore down my defenses. The castle walls fell, and all that was left was pain, suffering, sorrow, and the inability to focus on anything ever. In other words, covid sucks

    Covid-free for life and still wearing a mask everywhere in public. Maybe it’s overkill but idc, it makes me more comfortable (and not just because it protects from sickness)

    I got it last August. Nothing but maybe body aches for a day, and I don't even know for sure because I had a migraine so I was in bed all day anyway. Now, back in April of last year, I got a massive cold that literally took my sense of taste and smell, and gave me such bad sinus pressure I thought I was going to have an aneurism if it wasnt resolved. 10x worse than the covid. (Not saying it ain't serious, just putting my tale out there. I got dmn lucky especially bc I'm asthmatic.)

    That would be me. Allergic to tetanus and flu shot but had my pneumonia shot. Didn't have any covid shots as a worry of another allergic reaction. (Triggered asthma attack and overnight hospital stay) just kept wearing a mask. Work in the public as caregiver. Never got any variant of covid. Not even testing asymptomatic at even one time. Then again i really don't get sick. I wish i knew why i never got it.
