At some point, most of us have stumbled upon a work of art that somehow resonates with us. This isn't always in a serious way, either. Sometimes, you just see an awkwardly-shaped cat in a painting and think, "That's me." If you haven't experienced this yet, fortunately, there are a lot of works of art that just hit different. We've collected quite a few of them for you to enjoy today, because it turns out a lot of art from various eras of history can be appreciated in the modern age.

Classical art memes might not make your art teacher very happy, and they might upset any historian in your life, but they're a way to add a modern spin to an old work of art that we otherwise wouldn't have connected to. The captions people come up for some of these range from relatable to oddly specific, and they're incredibly creative. Here are a few memes from ancient works of art.
