The Masterpiece is a 2020 painting by conservative artist Jon McNaughton, depicting Donald Trump triumphantly unveiling a heroic portrait of himself while various political figures look on. Almost immediately after its release, internet users began photoshopping the canvas to show absurd, embarrassing, or unrelated images instead of the original portrait. The meme is typically used to mock the self-seriousness of the original artwork or to present a revelation of something controversial or silly. It functions as a classic exploitable template where the unveiling moment serves as the punchline for whatever is placed on the easel.
