International Gothic is a subset of Gothic art developed in Burgundy, Bohemia and northern Italy in the late 1300s and early 1400s.

It was at this period that artists travelled widely around the continent creating a common aesthetic among the royalty and nobility and removing the concept of "foreign" art.

Practitioners include Gentile da Fabriano and Jacopo Bellini and an example of this style would be The Wilton Diptych.
