mannerism is also called "late Renaissance" and maintains a lot of the pre-Renaissance style. Baroque is gaudy with a lot of ruffles and flourishes - listen to Bach and Vivaldi's music for example

When you study history from a cultural perspective, you find out how to identify a period's literature by how it is written. You find out about painted arts an sculpted arts, by their styles - what they show, and in music, it follows the same pattern. If you listen to Bach and Vivaldi, all ruffles and flourishes, then look into the classical period, you will see that in the classical period everthing is in balance and in a "perfect" state. All the illustrations of fabric fall perfectly, with no wrinkles, etc. Check out the art of David, the French painter that Napoleon liked, he tried to stop the Romantic style, which is clearly represented by Theodore Gericault's WRECK OF THE MEDUSA. Victor Hugo's LES MISERABLES is a Romantic Book.

The Baroque style is characterised by ostentation. If you look at pictures of any Baroque pace (say Versailles) you may think that it is overdone-gilding the lily, as it were.

This is also evident in the music of the great Baroque masters, J S Bach and Handel. The music is flowery, overdecorated, many many notes and filled with confidence. It is a style that captures the confidence of early modern Europe.
