  Neo-Greek \Ne`o-Greek"\, n.
     A member of a body of French painters (F. les n['e]o-Grecs)
     of the middle 19th century. The term is rather one applied by
     outsiders to certain artists of grave and refined style, such
     as Hamon and Aubert, than a name adopted by the artists
     themselves.
