Classical art dates back to ancient Greece and Rome and typically depicts themes like patriotism and self-sacrifice. However, in this day and age of memes, this supposedly sophisticated form of artistic expression is also associated with humor and sarcasm. 

Take the Classical AF Instagram page as an example. You’ll find photos that can pass off as Leonardo da Vinci paintings. But as you will see, adding those few lines of snarky text about overthinking, lack of sleep, and mental health can make for an extra hilarious image. 

We’ve compiled some pictures from the page for you to enjoy today. May these liven you up with a few quick laughs.

    In case anyone doesn't know and wants to, I believe this is Ivan the Terrible after whacking his son with his scepter in a fit of rage. This is also what the last two hours of a new 12 hour shift feels like, imo.

    My art teacher once made me redo a piece because "abstract art is not just a bunch of random shapes." It was a piece of representational art.

    It's not Legos! Lego bricks and Lego pieces are OK, but Legos most definitely isn't. There are grammar pedants out there, but I'm a Lego one.
