The History & Definition of isometric Pixelart:
The term pixel art was first published by Adele Goldberg and Robert Flegal of Xerox Palo Alto Research Center in 1982. The concept, however, goes back about 10 years before that, for example in Richard Shoup’s SuperPaint system in 1972, also at Xerox PARC.
Some traditional art forms, such as cross-stitch, mosaic and beadwork, bear some similarity to pixel art by constructing pictures out of small colored units analogous to the pixels of modern digital computing.
A similar concept on a much bigger scale can be seen in the mass games.
Pixel art is distinguished from other forms of digital art by an insistence upon manual, pixel-level editing of an image (without the application of image filters, automatic anti-aliasing or special rendering modes), often at close magnification. In this form, it is commonly said that “each pixel was placed carefully” to achieve a desired result.

Thousands of years under one roof
The lawyer August Kestner (1777-1853) lived as a diplomat of the Hanover king house in Rome for many years, where he gathered an extensive collection of antique art. Its nephew gave the works of art to the city of Hanover in 1882. Together with the 1887 acquired art collection of the printer and Hanover senator Friedrich Culemann they form the basic stick of the today’s collection of the museum, which was opened 1889.
