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 Sun is something that makes sense to worship. It provides the light that gives us food and life

The only truth I ever found in religion is that god spelled backwards is dog.

God didn't create us, we created God. Because we lack the ability to accept things we don't (yet) understand.

I agree with you completely. There's a new post on BP of Friedrich Nietzsche quotes. My favourite is "Is man God's biggest mistake , or is God man's biggest mistake?"

I'm going to rejoice when all of you who believe there is no God come to that realization that He is, and He is live. And when you do I will thank the Lord above. Because he loves you, and all the angels in heaven rejoice when one! person comes back to Him.

I think you're missing the point ...Christianity was FORCED on a lot of indigenous peoples all over the world to the point where their children were kidnapped and they were taught to ignore their culture and their "pagan rituals" and accept Jesus Christ as their savior....no freedom of religion there...

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)

He often drank their blood as well. This is where the tale of Dracula came from.

Hey Jesus, can you get the windows on the east side while you're at it? They're looking a little rough.
