Forget social media influencers- Renaissance painters were the original masters of drama, serving iconic looks and chaotic energy long before hashtags existed. From da Vinci’s Mona Lisa smirking like she knows all the tea to Caravaggio’s saints caught in peak ‘you forgot my birthday’ energy, these art pieces capture human absurdity with unmatched finesses.

Add a dose of modern-day humour and suddenly, you have a sublime blend of highbrow and low-key hilarity. 

Whether its Michaelangelo’s David embodying “gym goals but zero cardio vibes” or Rembrandt portraits practically screaming “that email could have been a SLACK!” these memes remind us that life’s struggles are eternal.

The only difference? They had better lighting and far superior ruffles.
