Question

what is a defining feature of Neoclassical art?

Answer 1

Whenever you see the prefix "neo" it can translate roughly to "revival" or "inspired by" So neoclassical art means art inspired by classicism which refers to the arts and culture of Ancient Greeks and Romans.

 

It is an 18 century movement that was fueled by a newfound awareness and interest in Greek and Roman art and a rejection of the values associated with the Rococo movement which was considered by many to be over the top in its decoration.
