About

Joseph Ducreux (June 26, 1735 – July 24, 1802) was an eighteenth century French artist known for his unorthodox style of portrait paintings. On the internet , his eccentric self-portrait has inspired a series of exploitable macros , featuring "archaic reinterpretation" of popular rap lyrics superimposed over the artwork. Reminiscent of Bayeux Tapestry image macros , this highly verbose joke provides a satisfying challenge of "decoding" the corrupted lyrics back into to the original verses.

Origin

Portrait de l'artiste sous les traits d'un moqueur (English: Self-portrait of the artist in the guise of a mockingbird ), which depicts Ducreux grinning smugly while pointing his finger towards the viewer, was completed circa 1793.

Over two centuries later in 2009, Ducreux' portrait was turned into an image macro with a caption reading "Disregard Females, Acquire Currency," an archaic reinterpretation of lyrics from Notorious B.I.G's 1995 hit single Get Money . More recently, the line "F*ck Bitches, Get Money" was also featured in Lil Wayne's 2005 track Money on My Mind . Since becoming popular on 4chan , Meme Generator and other lulz-friendly communities, the image macro has spawned an extensive pool of variations.
