Texts from the Met

The Metropolitan Museum of Art recently made most of their photographed collection public domain.

So naturally, I immediately went into meme-making mode and paired some of our favorite works with some Texts From Last Night.

Hudibras Beats Sidrophel and His Man Wacum — Henry Overton and J. Hoole | The Met

Woman with a Parrot — Gustave Courbet | The Met
