As you can see in the first example of the vitruvian man by Fabio Castellan it is clearly a work from the renaissance. It is combining science and mysticism and it is drawn on faded paper. There is no color but the line work is quite exquisite. It is using a frontal pose. It is a more accurate depiction of the real. This artist could see the power of the unfinished and also was known for intense detail and tonality. The Sacred and Secular were inseparable. The bottom painting from the Baroque period which ran from about 1600-1770 is titled Jupiter and Juno. It is a work by Annibale Carracci. Renaissance techniques were used to heighten emotion, drama, and splender. The goal was to restore Catholocism's dominance centrality. Baroque art was very symbolic. Emotional realism was more important than reality to them. The use of light and darkness was very prominent in their works. In the 1300s the art was influenced very much so by medieval works. It was not until starting in the 1400s that they became alot more inspired by the Greeks and Romans. As you said in the lecture the high Renaissance which took place from 1490-1530 was epitomized by such artists as Raphael, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Raphael. A good deal of Baroque artists were inspired by the Renaissance artists who came before them. Some artists such as Caravaggio had their styles rejected. Andrea Palladio's villa rotonda was a very important motif. It was used from post modern buildings to the teatrico olimpico and more. As described above these are the defining characteristics of the art styles of both the Renaissance and Baroque.
