International Gothic is a subset of Gothic art developed in Burgundy, Bohemia and northern Italy in the late 14th century and early 15th century.

It was at this period that artists traveled widely around the continent creating a common aesthetic among the royalty and nobility and removing the concept of "foreign" art. The main influences were northern France, the Netherlands and Italy.

Stylistic features are rich, decorative colouring and flowing lines. It also makes a more rational use of perspective, modeling, and setting, unseen in Western art since antiquity.

Practitioners include Paolo Uccello.
