45 Funny Posts From “Art Memes Central” That Add A Splash Of Humor To Classical Paintings

When a viral image morphs into a meme, it’s pretty much the pinnacle of internet humor. Scratch that, I’ve got something even better. What tops the charts is when a painting or a piece of classical art gets the meme treatment. Sometimes, I find this even more hilarious.

Think about it – the original context of the painting has zero to do with the funny caption slapped on it in the meme. But somehow, it works. It’s a whole new level of art appreciation, and I’m totally here for it. Plus, let’s be real, it’s just plain hilarious.

Looking for a treasure trove of these masterpieces? Art Memes Central on Instagram is your go-to spot. They’ve got an endless collection of funny classical art memes, and we’ve handpicked some of our absolute favorites for you.
