ALDEGREVER or ALDEGRAF, HEINRICH (1 '558), German painter and engraver, was born at Paderborn, from whence he removed in early life to Soest, where he died. From the close resemblance of his style to that of Albrecht Diirer he has sometimes been called the Albert of Westphalia. There is a good collection of his engravings in the British Mu seum. 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.
