International Gothic

Garden of Eden by the Limbourg Brothers, circa 1410
International Gothic is a type of Gothic art that was developed around France and Italy in the late 1300s. It was typically used to portray royal families on canvas, or to depict scenes from the Bible. Eventually popularity for this style waned in the late 1400s, making way for the Italian Renaissance.
