There’s something about classical art that just turns me off. Endless portraits of pale and plump aristocrats, 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 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 genius 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.
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 them out for yourself, and if you find yourself thirsting for more, there is a previous list here!

But mooom
Sometimes it’s just enough
The worst weekend scenario
when you’re not pretty enough on the inside
When he’s too cheesy all the time and you’re too tired of it all
No big plans, just one drink or so
“You’re such a pothead, larry”
Tomorrow is going to be hard
When will it end
And later on you end up the evening simply being double your weight
Just stay away from me, girl
Maybe I was interpreting your words wrong for the whole time
