The article presents various approaches to the methodology of modern and contemporary art history. It provides signposts and a set of possible orientations toward the field of art history, by presenting some of the theoretical perspectives most widely used in the discipline today (e.g. historiography, iconography, “iconic turn” as well as “crisis in art history”). The aim of this article is to present art as a visual representation of a range of concepts and emotions as well as to examine the changes of different ways in which people study, interpret and appreciate art in its richness and multitude of forms.

Gandhāran artifacts serve as memory of the two millennium past aesthetics, art, culture and norms of the people of Gandhāra. The modern scholarship was started with the archaeological excavations, it’s interest in the western world with its link up, peculiar with classical forms. The intellectual society’s urge to learn from Buddhist visuals and collectionism had grown to its peak from last two centuries. The Kushan empire was into contact with the Mediterranean Rome, Egypt & Iran, one of the world’s best cultural centers of the era that burgeoned the local centers of Art and it was obvious that assimilations of forms of making artifacts were based on the demand of the patron. By these exchanges, Gandhāran Art also influenced Roman Art with introduction of Jewelry and Flower garlands etc. as it was going both ways; with exporting goods to the western society. Buddhism was also going westward, the prime time was second century CE when it saw its finest flowering and prominence on the gateway of the Silk Road. The quest for divinity through seeing art was the one way to attract lay people and theirs donation could accelerate the monastic activities from writing religious codes (Sutta in Pali, Sutra in Sanskrit) to making new Viharas (monasteries) and Chaityas (temples) .

This paper is focused on piousness and the family representation of the Counts of Sporck on the Heřmanův Městec estate (East Bohemia) in the 1st half of the 18th century. The founder of this noble clan, Johann of Sporck (approximately 1600–1679), was born as a member of a peasant family near Paderborn, Germany and began the social rise of the Sporcks. He was under military duty with the Duke of Bavaria and consequently (as of 1647) served Emperor Ferdinand III. Sporck became a general and a rich and powerful magnate during the Thirty Years’ War war and the consequent struggles. The public fame of this new noble family was harmed, however, by the General’s son Ferdinand Leopold (1664–1711), who murdered his own butler, attacked his wife and other persons, and caused public commotion as well as conflicts with the elder brother Franz Anton (1662–1738). Ferdinand’s sons Johann Joseph (1693–1749) and Johann Rudolf (1695–1759), Bishop (in partibus) of Adriathea and suffragan Bishop of Prague as well, worked at improving the damaged public reputation of the Sporcks through devout acts and care for the spiritual lives of their subjects on the Heřmanův Městec estate. Noble family representation was connected with Baroque piousness in this case and point.
