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!

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.
This is too true, I am NOT photogenic, where as all my friends AND dog are..
And how did he takes the measure? In those days there wasn't the flexible measure tape invented IT must've been measured on a wooden gauge! Imagine.

Well, that's a "Power" codpiece if I ever saw one! "I'm the boss here and this will prove it." Wonder if he wore it every day or just special occasions?
I can just imagine this coming up as the latest fashion trend of 2019.
A version of it, yes. Traditionally they were also padded a bit to ...ummmm... enhance the view!? lol

Cod piece like that were normal like that in the Renaissance. Men used them to show their status, as their doublets got shorter their cod pieces got bigger. The bigger the more clout you had. Henry the VIII has huge ones. Men also put their purses in there for safe keeping. Lol.
Can't stop imagining him trying to stuff that thing when not aroused... Hahahaha
The way he’s leaning and holding on to that table, it must painful! Priapism I’m guessing!
Just look at Keith Mitchell in Henry VIII and you know what I mean !
I must be beyond an intellectual because i judge people for the mistakes I'm currently making

I'd like to take a nap and woke up after the sun set. Was seriously disoriented when i woke
when you come out the womb and realize there is a FreAking cow next to you!!
I love these, i just regret that the name of the paintings aren't written, i'd be curious about some of them that i did not recognize!
I LOVE classical art memes. XD These and cats in space are probably my favorite genres. Oh, how far we have strayed... lol
I was going to comment how cats have never been to space- asserting it was just one more reason dogs are better than cats, but apparently the French launched one into space. I shall instead post picture of Felicette. Felicette_...bede00.jpg

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.
