according to the new (Gregorian) calendar
If it is important to preserve consistency with primary sources, you may give the date in the original style, but then you must also give the date in the modern style. For example, Elizabeth I of England died on 24 March 1602 (Old Style)/3 April 1603 (New Style).

The Gregorian calendar is the internationally accepted civil calendar.[1][2][3] It was introduced by Pope Gregory XIII, after whom the calendar was named, by a decree signed on 24 February 1582, a papal bull known by its opening words Inter gravissimas.[4] The reformed calendar was adopted later that year by a handful of countries, with other countries adopting it over the following centuries.
The Gregorian calendar reform contained two parts, a reform of the Julian calendar as used up to Pope Gregory's time, together with a reform of the lunar cycle used by the Church along with the Julian calendar for calculating dates of Easter.

In other words, where "modern style" (sometimes "new style") or "old style" follows immediately after a date, it refers to the calendar used:
Born at Philadelphia, in the year 1747, (March 24th old style, but April 4th, by the change of style,) he yet lives, in a good old age, the Presiding Bishop ...

modern
as a transition between two styles ... modern does not mean contemporary.
Tullio Lombardo (Tullio di Pietro Solari da Carona) - 1455-1532:
"lo stile dell'artista è quello che corrisponde alla transizione dal linguaggio prospettico e umanistico quattrocentesco al classicismo maturo della “maniera moderna”, sia nell'architettura sia nella scultura veneziana."
For a sculptor in late fifteenth-century Venice, to be modern meant to breathe new life into the lost world of classical antiquity, glimpsed through literature and fragmentary ancient remains and envisioned as a wondrous place of ideal beauty. Tullio’s sculpture summoned up an antiquity of imagination, with works of a kind never seen before: busts in high relief portraying figures based on Greek and Roman models, but given contemporary (fifteenth-century) hairstyles and costumes.

: Sorry, Francoise, your Art History is correct, but in this case the phrase refers to the specific date itself, as Dylan explains in some detail.
