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