Do you underline a title of a painting?

Answer 1

Why did you put a painting in your essay? If you are referring in your essay to a painting done by another person, you should underline the title of that painting, and you should use a resource like the MLA manual for similar questions.

Answer 2

Italics as well as underlining the title are acceptable. Do what you personally feel, if the title is being worked into an essay I use italics simply because I think underlining brings too much attention to the title and less attention to the content surrounding the title.

Answer 3

YES!!Punctuating Titles of Works of ArtCreating a work of art is an enormous task, isn't it? For that reason, you can think of art as a big accomplishment. Okay, that might sound corny, but it will help you remember! Individual works of art like paintings and sculptures are underlined or italicized:

• Michelangelo's David
• Mona Lisa
• The Last Supper
• The Pieta

Note: A photograph, which is much smaller than a work of art, is placed in quotation marks!

Answer 4

You would either underline it or put it into italics.
