Classical artwork and timeless masterpieces of the art world make tip-top templates for memes. The proof is in the pudding, and the Classical Sarcasm Instagram account is here to serve it. Classical Sarcasm is a social media project that is dedicated to sharing witty memes that use classical paintings that many of us know and love as templates.

The end result is a fascinating mix of master-level paintings and a breath of the past mixed together with modern issues and everyday vernacular. It’s a contrast that works. And it’s oddly relatable.

Have a scroll through some of the best memes featured by Classical Sarcasm. Remember to upvote your faves. If you’re a fan of these, be sure to give Classical Sarcasm a follow, we’re sure that it would make the founder of the project very happy.
