These memes originate from a whole different era. No, they're not just history memes — but that's pretty close. Instead, these are some brand new "classical art memes." Technically, it's not that ethical, at least from the historian's perspective, but at least we didn't throw cake at the Mona Lisa like whatever's always going on over at the Louvre nowadays.

Instead of turning to defacing famous works of art physically, we do it online, which is the better way. Classical art memes tear apart old works of art in ways that would probably deeply offend any art history major out there, but since many of these paintings would go unremembered entirely without them, it's technically sort of a good thing, even if those painters are rolling over in their graves. Here are some of our favorite memes from some old works of art that have been given a whole new life.
