Biography:
Heinrich Aldegrever trained as a goldsmith, creating decorative designs for ironwork such as swords, daggers, and knives. He later began engraving, his work falling into the group of artists during the German Renaissance known as the “Little Masters” due to the diminutive size of their prints. Aldegrever focused on mythological and Biblical subjects, executed with intricate detail, line, light and shadow. Between 1527 and 1555, he produced close to 300 wondrously small prints.
