40 Of The Funniest Classical Art Memes Shared On This Online Group
Interview
Classical art and art history might sound a tad complex to some of you Pandas, but we assure you, they’re both a lot of fun. And someone who makes it far more approachable for all of us, near and far, is the founder of the ‘Classical Damn’ project on Instagram.
The ‘Classical Damn’ Instagram page boasts a whopping 315k followers who just can’t wait for their next creative dose of classical paintings merged with modern-day captions. And it’s all done to make you chuckle, giggle, and laugh. Scroll down for some of the best classical art memes, and don’t forget to upvote your fave ones.
Do we have any art-lovers in the crowd tonight? Let us know which of these memes you liked the most and what classical painting is by far the nearest and dearest to your heart, dear Pandas. Personally, ‘Wanderer above the Sea of Fog’ is something I can’t stop looking at, and it’s interesting to see it in a more modern and witty context.
Bored Panda reached out to the founder of 'Classical Damn,' who follows our online magazine regularly, to hear about their project. "I started the page in early 2019 to combine two of my passions: art and memes. I had been deeply interested in art history as a hobby for some time and I always used to come across these paintings that looked like they were exactly made for a meme. I started putting captions on them and circulated it amongst family and friends," they said.
"After being well received, I decided to start an Instagram page to reach a wider audience and create a community with similar interests," they opened up about how the entire project got started on social media. Scroll down for the full interview about why so many Instagram users find the art memes so relatable and also check out our interview with Shelby Bercume, who is a former art gallery director from Florida.

This was how I learnt painting in art class. Just a bunch of fruits and random objects. One would have thought we were painting The Monalisa.

If you don't know the background: This is a photo of Stalin with his important comrades --- which he later had executed one after the other with his increasing paranoia ('the purges'). So official photos had to be routinely doctored, with originals often only available in the anticommunist West. This starts with Nikolai Antipov, Stalin, Sergei Kirov and Nikolai Shvernik in Leningrad, 1926... I only knew the last one, not the two intermediate ones!

Maybe she's too tense for success in this endeavour... it's a cooperation not a quest to send him on.
