Take Time to Laugh


For an artsy chuckle, wander around the blog That is Priceless - Art's Greatest Masterpieces Made Slightly Funnier. Steve Melcher, who operates the blog, is a two-time Emmy-winning comedy writer. He finds old world paintings and gives them updated and humorous titles.




This lovely little oil on panel by an anonymous artist from the
Flemish School has been re-titled
Liberace’s First Day of Kindergarten




Here is an oil on canvas by the British artist John William Godward that demonstrates the Effect of Alcohol on Model's Willingness to Pose Nude.




This 1424 fresco by the Italian painter Masaccio depicts St. Peter Alerting Lunch Companion that He's Forgotten His Pants

Enjoy!
