Classical art and modern hilarity are two things that mix together like peanut butter and jam, burgers and ketchup, Bonnie and Clyde… in other words, they just work. We have yet to figure out to whom we owe the Meme Award of the Year — but we have some pretty good contestant categories. Classical art memes are definitely in the lead.

Our ancestors would likely not approve of our modern antics, but thankfully we are now in 2023 (still feels weird to say it) — and live in a freer world. The stoic, sullen expressions on the faces of these memes, along with the cleverly written relatable quotes… we’re just glad to live in the digital age. So, whether or not you’re an art student or just a general meme lover, you are welcome to scroll down and feast your eyes on the funnies.

And if you’re hella exhausted from all the partying… check out these funny memes for the tired crowd.
