Welcome to the world of classical art memes, where works of art from long ago are brutally ripped apart and repurposed as memes. If you're into art history or classical art, then this is not the place for you. In fact, this might leave you feeling rather offended and disturbed by the sorts of things people come up with as captions for these famous or even lesser-known works of art.
