This is a matter of opinion. Some would say Rembrandt, others Velazquez.

Music from the baroque period was great masterpieces from composers such as J.S. Bach and L. v. Beethoven. One of the major things the differenciates music from the Baroque period to any other is that the majority of music written at the time were composed and performed on a harpsichord, which is like a piano in many respects but it has no dynamic contrast and has two sets of keys (one on top, one on bottom) and pieces were written specificlly for the harpsichord and maybe a small ensemble but not a whole orchestra. Just as Pop music originated from America and reggae originated from Jamaica, Baroque music originated from Central Europe (Germany, Italy, Austria etc) and is still the home of Classical music today. Also, Baroque music usually consists of simple, easy-to-remember melodies because this was sort of the first real genre and composers were at a walking pace when it came to composing so did not want to over-complicate themselves (if that makes any sense at all!) That is all I know about the Baroque period, hope it helps!
I am sorry, I would not call him a mannerist. Early Baroque, great chiaroscuro painter, very often provocative. Mannerism is usually defined by distorted figures, unrealistic color, exaggerated poses etc (as e.g El Greco).
He was an great painter and scientist.
No, but a great composer.
The birth of great composers like Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750), Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1742), and George Frideric Handel (1685-1759).
He was a great painter.
Baroque was before the Classical period from the 1600s-1700s. Some composers include Bach, Telemann, Pachelbel, Purcell, Vivaldi, and Handel. Many woodwinds and strings, imagine dancing in a castle, that would be baroque music. The harpsichord was a very popular instrument at the time. The Baroque music style followed the Renaissance style, and made more complex use of harmony and rhythm. It was typically harder to perform than Renaissance music as it was written more for virtuoso singers and instrumentalists. There was a great deal of counterpoint, and the fugue was a popular form for composers.
