This Is One Of The Most Meme-Able Vintage Artworks
The fact that this is one of the most meme-able works of classical art is probably news to you. Something about this image of a lady kneeling before a priest to confess her sins has inspired all sorts of wild speculation about what the woman might be saying to the priest.
This, more than anything else she may have said, rings true in today’s reality. As a means of alleviating stress, many of us resort to making light of dire circumstances. The confessional is a solemn place where sins are discussed (similar to a modern psychologist’s office), thus it’s surprising that jokes are so common there.
