Have you ever been in an art gallery looking at some of the paintings, and wondered what the artists were thinking when they created it?
Some of the bizarre situations they depict, the disproportioned bodies and "I am SO done" facial expressions are so hilarious that you almost think the painters might have been 'in on the joke' even centuries ago.
You can try and look at the painting while stroking your chin, examining the brushwork, the composition and visual storytelling - but all you want to do is keel over laughing.
Here are some of the funniest 'mediaeval reactions' from renaissance works of art captioned with the everyday dilemmas of modern life.
