The Interior of the Palm House on the Pfaueninsel Near Potsdam is the title of two oil-on-canvas paintings by Carl Blechen, completed between 1832 and 1834. Both depict four odalisques as they relax in a palm house (which was destroyed by fire in 1880) at the royal retreat of Pfaueninsel near Berlin, but have different angles of view and compositions. The works were commissioned by King Frederick William III of Prussia and are now in the Hamburger Kunsthalle and the Art Institute of Chicago, with an 1832 color study for the work found in the Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin. This picture shows the Chicago version of the painting, which was gifted by Frederick William to his daughter Alexandra Feodorovna, the wife of Emperor Nicholas I of Russia. It remained in the Russian imperial collection until around 1917, became part of a Swiss collection around 1920, and was owned by private collectors prior to its purchase by the Art Institute of Chicago in 1996.

In the title, why is "Near" capitalised? If we capitalise that word, why wouldn't we also capitalise "of the" and "on the"? Schwede66 05:13, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure. I think I just titled it that because that's how it's capitalized on the Art Institute website. You're right that it should probably be lowercase.  Bait30  ^{Talk 2 me pls?} 08:15, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This particular title doesn't appear often enough in sources to be definite either way, but it's interesting to note that sources generally keep "near" in upper case even when it's a preposition, e.g. all the titles at Don't_Go_Near_the_Water. I'd lean towards not changing this, but don't feel super strongly about it.  — Amakuru (talk) 22:24, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The only thing that I feel strongly about is that nobody please move the article while it's linked from the Main Page. Hence I thought to bring this up so that it's deliberate. Schwede66 10:24, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
