Have you ever wondered what would happen if Napoleon had access to a microwave oven or if Cleopatra tried her hand at Instagram? Yeah, we'd probably look at those pics and post them for fake internet points. Anyways, a trip through the meme-tastic world of paintings takes historical stuff and tosses them into our modern tech-savvy world. Just picture Abe Lincoln dropping a fire mixtape or Joan of Arc as the ultimate warrior streamer. Or people in a Renaissance painting passing a vape.

Don't even come at us saying modern art is better than this. Meme captions slapped over paintings is what we call modern art, and not the random stuff they do in museums that rich people buy to satisfy their own egos. These memes bridge the gap between the past and the present with a dash of humour and originality, whether by adding amusing comments to characters or deftly placing classical themes in a contemporary environment. So get ready for a trip through time with these 25 classical art memes picked fresh from Reddit.
