Based on the description provided—specifically the clear symbols of Christianity, the plain but golden background, and the saint with large eyes who appears to be floating—the type of art you’re looking at is MOST LIKELY Byzantine art. This style often features religious themes, flat backgrounds, and figures with elongated proportions and large eyes.
