Gombrich argued that the third level of Panofsky's method lacked adequate constraint, and proposed establishing the genre of the image as the first restraint. The movement asking who paid for a work and what market it entered is the social history of art. Questions about how objects reached European museums are questions of provenance.
The last blank has moved from historiography into law and politics. Provenance research began as a scholarly question about an object's history and is now central to restitution claims, which is an unusual trajectory for a piece of art-historical method.
