Bringing Art History Up To Date (Images courtesy of Medieval Reactions)
These modern interpretations of centuries-old paintings come courtesy of Medieval Reactions, a wryly funny Twitter account that's making people smile with its contemporary take on traditional artwork. And as you can see, it appears that the observations and dilemmas faced by our ancestors aren't that much different to those of today.
Four Fathers at a Class Reunion (repost)

The first guy said: "My son is my pride and joy. He started working at a successful company at the bottom of the barrel. He studied Economics and Business Administration and soon began to climb the corporate ladder, and now he's the president of the company. He became so rich he gave his best friend a top-of-the-line Mercedes for his birthday."



The three friends were congratulating each other just as the fourth returned from the restroom and asked, "What are all the congratulations for?"
One of the three said: "We were talking about the pride we feel for our sons' wonderful success. Hey, what about your son?"
The fourth man replied: "Ha ha. Well, my son is gay and makes a living dancing as a stripper at a nightclub."
The three friends said, shaking their heads: "Oh dear, what a shame... what a terrible disappointment."
