These memes will, as the title suggests, rock your ancestor’s world, although we can’t be sure in which way exactly. See, classical is the term generally used to refer to the style of the ancient Roman and Greek periods. Although, as of late, classical art has been revived in the form of memes. The principles of this classical style largely center on notions of elegance, harmony, and proportion.

Memes kind of nod when they hear these things and go, ‘We shalt exhibit disrespect’. When mixing funny quotes/sayings with stoic expressions of classical characters, the result is feisty and hilarious. If you’re an art student and feel like you need to add a bit of sauce to your tiresome studies, this will do the trick.
