What is another name for the Renaissance style of architecture with characteristics of curved walls, pointed arches, and spires?

  1. Baroque

  2. Gothic

  3. Neoclassical

  4. Regency

The correct answer is: Gothic

The Baroque style of architecture features grandeur, intense emotions, and fluid shapes while Gothic accurately describes the Renaissance style with its curved walls, pointed arches, and spires. Neoclassical and Regency are both architectural styles that emerged after the Renaissance and do not have the same characteristics as Gothic architecture. Therefore, they are not correct answers to this question.
