ALDEGREVER, or ALDEGRAF, HEINRICH (1502-1558)  , German painter and engraver, was born at Paderborn, from which he removed in early life to Soest, where he died . From the close resemblance of his style to that of Albrecht Dtirer he has sometimes been called the Albert of Westphalia . His numerous engravings, chiefly from his own designs, are delicate and minute, though somewhat hard in style, and entitle him to a place in the front rank of the so-called " Little Masters." There is a good collection in the British Museum . Specimens of his painting are exceedingly rare . Five pictures are in continental galleries, but the genuineness of the works in the Vienna and Munich collections attributed to 'him is at least doubtful, the only unchallenged example being a portrait of Engelbert Therlaen (1551) in the Berlin Museum .
