Artists of the International Gothic style did not entirely abandon naturalism for spiritualism; rather, they blended both elements. While they emphasized ornate detail, elegant figures, and intricate patterns, they also maintained a level of naturalism in their representations of the human form and landscapes. This style often reflected spiritual themes, using symbolism and a focus on the divine, but it did so while still engaging with realistic elements. Thus, the movement can be seen as a fusion of aesthetic beauty and spiritual expression rather than a complete departure from naturalism.
