Find Some Modern Relatability In These 25 Classical Works Of Art

There's something interesting that can be seen in classical art. Generally, you wouldn't think that the people and situations depicted in these works of art would be anything remotely relatable. Sometimes though the people in the photos, even though they are from so many years ago, appear to be a little too modern. It's like someone from the modern age was placed into these pieces of art and they aren't quite sure how they got there. These moments create the perfect opportunity for memes to be made.

Classical art memes, many of which can be found on Reddit's /r/trippinthroughtime, are memes that have been made from classical artworks. The pieces have been edited and added on to, to give them a modern twist and make them surprisingly relatable. They become a whole new piece of art themselves. Here are 25 classical art memes depicting old-timey problems and people in new-timey jokes and situations.
