I believe the answer also lies in their different eras....
While Michaelangelo considered as the best sculptor of the renaissance, Bernini is known as father of Baroque. Michaelangelo
had Medicis and Bernini had Popes(Pope Urban VIII, Pope Innocent X).While renaissance brought Europe out of the middle
ages, Baroque is its further progression. Renaissance has its own respect in the history and also is well written and credited in
documentation while Baroque is not so well spread in terms of popularity among common people. Both artists are extremely
talented in their own styles and respect however since we are discussing these particular work of art, the visual differences
matters.
Like pointed out by Belinda, size is one aspect. Contours, movement, visibility, current placement etc are others.
Borrowing a table from the below website to explain the basic difference in both styles:@What's the difference between
Renaissance and Baroque art?
