Seeing classical art is always an interesting time. It's cool to see how people and places looked way back, and the fact that so many of these classical art pieces have been preserved is pretty amazing. There is one funny thing about classical art and renaissance art, and that is that there always seems to be one person that shouldn't be there. That is to say there is always someone or something that seems a bit too modern for the time, like maybe they're a time traveler.

With this in mind, there are some pretty great memes that can be created from these old images. It puts those people from long ago in modern-era situations, and shows that maybe people haven't changed all that much over the years. Reddit's /r/trippinthroughtime is a subreddit filled with these hilariously accurate classical art memes. It's pretty amazing just how many of these old pieces of art are actually super relatable, just gotta step back and take a closer look at them.
