In your first link, the Vernet at the top is Baroque style. If you scroll down, there's a Jansz that's Renaissance, which is the only one there that is.

The second link is that same Vernet. Is this a trick question?

In general, Renaissance works will have even, clear lighting; Baroque (for comparison) uses lots of chiaroscuro--great dark areas and intense bright ones in contrast. But Renaissance differs from the earlier midieval style in that midieval is flat and lifeless, whereas Renaissance has depth, motion, and anatomical precision.
