Let's face it — memes have become an empire devoted to humor, and their modern rule on humankind is undeniable. Globalization has allowed memes to get from one end of the earth to the other with little difficulty. There are endless categories, each unique in its own way — and this specific category is elite. Classical art and memes go together like peanut butter and jelly — they just work.

Our ancestors are most likely squirming around in the afterlife, whispering furiously amongst one another, vowing to get revenge. How dare we spoil classical art with funny quotes and swear words? We can just hear them, 'Pffft, kids these days!', appalled at our lack of respect. We could argue that thanks to memes, the younger generation is actually being exposed to this beautiful classical art, but we imagine this argument would be shot down with a lot of 'THUS FAR' and 'THOUGH SHALT NOT' kind of talk that we wouldn't really get, what with our modern day slang.

So, without further ado, scroll down for the best memes of the week in the classical art department. For more, check out these hilarious millennial memes that sum up what being 30 as opposed to 20 feels like.
