Capital letters in my opinion, for periods and for styles.

neo-Classical, neo-Gothic

In terms of art history, these strike me as wrong: Neo-Gothic and
Neo-Renaissance are stylistic periods in their own right, and I don't
think I've ever seen them spelled without both elements capitlaised.

I think one writes "neo-classical" or "neo-classical", though, as
that's a generic description of the various Neo-Whatevers rather than
a single style.
