80 Sarcastic Memes That Prove Classical Art Can Still Be Relevant In The Digital Age
People from the past seemed to live completely different lives... From the way they dressed, to the work they did, and even their inner-most thoughts. But they might have been more similar to us than we realize.
Some old paintings portray men and women as rigid and indifferent; while others inject ambiguous, thoughtful and moody expressions. Either way, they're the perfect canvas for a bunch of hilarious modern-day memes. Classical art memes mix centuries-old masterpieces with today's sense of humor by pairing dramatic historical expressions with painfully relatable everyday struggles. Add a spoonful of sarcasm, and you have a winning formula for comedy gold.
There's a special corner of the internet where these gems reside. The Classical Sarcasm Facebook page has more than 850k followers, and provides endless amusement. Bored Panda has put together a list of some of the best posts from the page, to prove that classical art can still be hilariously relevant in the digital age. Don't forget to upvote your favorites.

I prefer to haunt a library. There are too many books I want to read for the time I have left. Or maybe, a bookstore. A bookstore with cats. That sounds heavenly!
