Art History Memes To Pontificate Upon And Guffaw At Heartily

If there's one thing we know about art, it's that it took like, a thousand years for artists to figure out how to draw horses properly. Seriously, check out the crap medieval artists were throwing together. They look like they were drawn by dysentery-ridden, near-sighted mooks. And they probably were, but that's no excuse to draw horses that look like busses covered in legs.

Anyway, one of the fun things about classical art is that it did a pretty good job of conveying people's emotions at pivotal moments, and it just so happens that that kind of affectation makes pretty excellent memes. Throw in a few kronen-burg-esque depictions of hell, some extremely stupid haircuts that we're certain couldn't have been popular at the time, and you've got yourself a recipe for some extremely accurate, if also terrifically weird memes.

For more of it, here are art history memes for the highly cultured among us.
