Despite being centres of art, it is mainly outside large cities that the development of art takes place. This paper focuses on the Spiš region during the eighteenth century, the final phase of a period during which various territories of the region were under the administration of the Hungarian or Polish crown. The first part of the text explores the local sculpture and painting scene, with a particular focus on the two generations of artists of the Theresian era. Then the region serves as a model for non-central areas in terms of their typologies and place in art-historical and broader cultural-historical development. The paper analyses the current approaches to the issue of centre and periphery and discusses the impact of smaller towns and administrative settlements on the cultural and artistic profile of the area.
