Art has changed drastically over the years. For one, classical art has fallen out of favor for many of us in the modern era. But after hundreds of years of effort from artists all over the world, we couldn't let that slide. Fortunately, modern art has a solution for this. Naturally, by modern art, I mean memes. Nowadays, these are some of the best examples of art we've got, and sometimes, we like to picture what the past would be like if they had memes too. The following images will hopefully give you a disturbing glimpse into that reality.

The modern world created classical art memes, which are perhaps the best way to simultaneously mock and praise the artists of the past. In general, we don't regret it; just try not to think about the fact that a skilled artist somewhere lived and died just to leave this legacy behind, and their painting is now being used to joke about your own social awkwardness and that century's lack of sliced bread. Here are 23 of the best classical art memes to make you look at fine art a little differently.
