30 Art History Memes That Are Hilariously Relatable, As Shared On This Instagram Page
Hear ye, hear ye! Gather round for some of the world’s funniest and most relatable memes that will blow your medieval minds! These masterpieces will make you chuckle harder than the queen’s jester, and they might just bring you a greater appreciation for high art.
Allow us to introduce you pandas to the Official Medieval Reactions Instagram account. This brilliant page puts a modern spin on medieval paintings, giving them hilarious captions mentioning dating apps, first world problems, cell phones, internet etiquette and more. Shakespeare would likely be horrified by the writing on these images, but lucky for us, he’s not around to create a tragedy about how we’ve ruined the art of his time.
Enjoy this list of paintings that you might find surprisingly relatable (as you sit there with your smartphone or laptop…), and be sure to upvote the memes you think belong in an art museum. Feel free to share in the comments which medieval pieces of art you’d like to use as a canvas to convey your modern day woes, and then if you’re interested in checking out a Bored Panda article featuring classical paintings with a similar spin on them, you can find that right here!

Some of you are being extremely rude and petty by downvoting @random username. Comments don't deserve a downvote because you're annoyed. Chill out and move to the next comment.
Dude, she doesn't have issues, she has a subscription.
ALRIGHT PEOPLE. PLEASE stop downvoting @random username. They have said absolutely nothing wrong or offensive and there is no reason for them to have a bunch of downvotes. If you don't agree with the comment then just MOVE ON. Thank you.
Can we all give a round of applause to random username's dedication to give us a fact-check of the pictures in their almost legendary quest to prove that most of them are not in fact medieval? Sure it's pedantic af but I can't help but be impressed with the effort. I would have appreciated painters' and paintings' names, too.
Idk, but I think they did that for the pedantism. If it was about the info, they'd given us the painters' names as you said - THIS effort I'd appreciate, lol.

Titles at BoredPanda are complete nonsense half of the time, I find it quite annoying too. How hard is it to choose a title that is actually correct?
