Classical art and art history might sound a tad complex to some of you Pandas, but we assure you, they’re both a lot of fun. And someone who makes it far more approachable for all of us, near and far, is the founder of the ‘Classical Damn’ project on Instagram.
The ‘Classical Damn’ Instagram page boasts a whopping 315k followers who just can’t wait for their next creative dose of classical paintings merged with modern-day captions. And it’s all done to make you chuckle, giggle, and laugh. Scroll down for some of the best classical art memes, and don’t forget to upvote your fave ones.
Do we have any art-lovers in the crowd tonight? Let us know which of these memes you liked the most and what classical painting is by far the nearest and dearest to your heart, dear Pandas. Personally, ‘Wanderer above the Sea of Fog’ is something I can’t stop looking at, and it’s interesting to see it in a more modern and witty context.
Bored Panda reached out to the founder of ‘Classical Damn,’ who follows our online magazine regularly, to hear about their project. “I started the page in early 2019 to combine two of my passions: art and memes. I had been deeply interested in art history as a hobby for some time and I always used to come across these paintings that looked like they were exactly made for a meme. I started putting captions on them and circulated it amongst family and friends,” they said.
“After being well received, I decided to start an Instagram page to reach a wider audience and create a community with similar interests,” they opened up about how the entire project got started on social media.
