50 Of The Funniest Classical Art Memes Ever
There's something about classical art that just turns me off. Endless portraits of pale and plump aristocrats looking all fancy in the classical paintings, bucolic rural scenes, religious iconography... I can certainly appreciate the skill and relevance back in the pre-photography age, but these days we need a message!
What is a better way to make these historical artifacts more accessible to the youth of today than to turn them into memes? Entertaining, amusing and easily shareable, a whole new generation is being exposed to the famous paintings of Da Vinci, Van Gogh, Goya, and friends, albeit with a cheeky modern twist that would likely make them turn in their graves if they knew about these art memes.
We here at Bored Panda have compiled a hilarious list of our favorite classical art memes, to help you decipher what those enigmatic old artists were really trying to say! Scroll down below to check the newest memes out for yourself, and if you find yourself thirsting for more, there is a previous list of these art-themed funny memes here!

"I'mma have you killed. By some dude called Pontius Pilot. Yeah that's right. He's the first person with a stupid name, but it's better than ABCDE, or Squire Sebastian Senator."
Poor Judas. He looks like the gay hopelessly in love with his hetero best buddy, but his best bud kinda hates him now.
Wow @first one, the black and white one. Anyone know the name of that painting?
Because he was painted by Anglo Saxon painters and that’s how they depicted him back then.

Oh, them good ol' days where yo had to walk 40 miles in the snow to go to school. That is after you delivered the newspapers and fed all the farm animals. That's when the houses were so tiny you could only have small talk and where you would sleep in the refrigerator to stay warm.

Hey, can you delete the boob meme? It seems inaproppriate
Welcome to the internet, no tolerance for sensitivity! If you want to be here you'll need to grow up a bit. For the last time, boobs don't have to be sex organs.
