Courteney Cox, otherwise known as Monica from Friends, recently posted a photo on her Instagram page of the Friends cast having their “last supper” before taping the sitcom’s final episode, and it inspired me to take a look at other iconic pop culture photos and try to compare them visually to famous works of art. Two of my favorite things are pop culture and art history, so I had a blast doing this! Note that the basis for the comparisons presented below are completely visual and not contextual. Enjoy!
