<p>Leonardo da Vinci gleefully photoshopping a range of different animals into his &lsquo;Lady with an Ermine,&rsquo; Michelangelo&rsquo;s Sistine Chapel God plays pool, a 17th-century lady rocks out with a skeleton and Van Gogh himself receives a very insensitive gift. There&rsquo;s chocolate flinging, baby throwing and sexting gone awry, not to mention the inevitable conclusion to Magritte&rsquo;s men falling from the sky.</p>

<p>Classic art has gotten a big cultural boost lately thanks to projects that appeal to our sense of humor, like the excellent <a href="https://www.facebook.com/classicalartmemes/">Classical Art Memes. </a>While more conservative art historians may lament that the works aren&rsquo;t being appreciated in their original context, as the artists meant for them to be, these projects have centuries-old paintings flying around the internet like cat videos, so it&rsquo;s hard to complain.</p>
