Shortly Beyoncé shared the first image of her and JAY-Z's newborn twins, they Beyhive went into overdrive. The picture had three million likes in just three hours and fans were praising the image across Twitter.
One meme that soon established itself was just how many classic works of art the picture resembles. Both Botticelli or Belarusian artist Alex Kuzmich’s depictions of Madonna and Child were referenced by some users, while another noticed similarities with an ancient Egyptian statue.
See below for further proof that even Beyoncé's Instagram account is literally art.
