However, in this case, I'm not sure that it is a good idea to put the title of the painting above the image. It is much more usual to put a painting's title in italics below the image - after the artist's name and then followed by the (year), size and medium. -- [[User:Solipsist|Solipsist]] 12:56, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC) |

When should one include the name of the city after the museum? It seems only fair that the reader is told that an obscure museum like the [[Czartoryski Museum]] is in [[Kraków]] (as in the case of the ''[[Lady with an Ermine]]'' article), but what about world-famous ones such as [[Museo del Prado]] and [[Musée du Louvre]]? Is it parochial to write [[Museum of Modern Art]] instead of [[Museum of Modern Art]], [[New York City]] (particularly as 'The [[National Gallery, London|National Gallery]], [[London]]' is preferred to 'The National Gallery')? Some guidelines on this would be helpful. – [[User:Ham|Ham]] 10:53, 2 May 2005 (UTC) |

Template layout and formatting
I'm not quite sure what the focus of this template is (as opposed to just using an image box), but I guess it is intended to be similar to some of the other taxoboxes.
