520 _a"Character of Renaissance Architecture" by Charles Herbert Moore is a scholarly examination of the architectural styles that emerged during the Renaissance, written in the early 20th century. The work seeks to analyze the essence of Renaissance architecture, contrasting it with the preceding Gothic style and exploring the influences that shaped it, particularly in relation to moral, social, and aesthetic conditions of the time. Through detailed study and illustrations, the book intends to provide insights into how Renaissance architecture, often regarded as a reflection of classic ideals, also embodies unique characteristics influenced by Venetian and Florentine cultural elements. The opening of the text introduces the author's preface, in which he explains the purpose behind his exploration of Renaissance architecture. Moore argues that previous assessments of the architectural advancements during this period often overlook the profound differences from medieval architecture. He discusses how Renaissance architecture was heavily influenced by the spirit of the time—reflecting moral decay and luxury, as well as the revival of classical antiquity—but also points to the inherent contradictions and individualism that characterized this period. Thus, the groundwork is laid for a critical analysis of various architectural achievements, beginning with the notable dome of Florence, which serves as a focal point for discussing innovations and deviations from classical construction principles.
