16 ‘Classical Art’ memes to make you LOL in 2025

Classical art originates from ancient Greece and Rome, from a genre of art called classicism. When it comes to classical art, the appeal is extremely aesthetic. But art does not only necessarily have to be restricted to painting. It can also be sculpture, literature, and, as commonly perceived, painting.

The meticulously drawn paintings, or expertly etched sculptures, make for a classic source of humorous memes. What makes them funny is the odd juxtaposition between what we commonly consider highbrow art and pop culture.

This is why the internet is rightly called a melting, cooking pot of all things apparently unlike in nature. It places an ancient art against the common lingos and cultural scenes.

Classical art was all about a quest for balance and symmetry, and those who found it were considered great artists. We do have some extremely well-known names here. Starting from da Vinci (yes, not DiCaprio from Titanic) to Raphael, from Michelangelo in both art and sculpture to Bernini, classical art was all about precision.

Fast forward to the contemporary pop cultural scene, we see a vast number of netizens using these artistic images to create timeless memes.

Digital feeds are full of random images and artificial sounds. Sometimes the clutter gets to you. But a beautiful painting or two on your feed harms nobody. On top of the aesthetic appeal, the exaggerated facial expressions of classical paintings add to the overall fun experience.

You no longer have to visit a museum to look at beautiful art. Just tune into social media and treat your eyes with the magnificent balance of shapes and colors. These artistic images have sparked memes and video captions on social media.

Recently, a trend surfaced in social media where wives were capturing videos of their husbands' sleeping positions, captioning them something like, My husband sleeps like a woman out of a renaissance painting.

Hilarious, no?

Well, save some laughter because we have assorted some more doses of laughter for you.
