Heinrich Jakob Aldenrath, who was born at Lübeck in 1775, was a portrait painter, a miniaturist, and a lithographer. He received instruction from Johann Jakob Tischbein and from Friedrich Karl Gröger, with whom he commenced a friendship which was only severed by Gröger's death in 1838. Together they visited the Academies of Berlin, Dresden, and Paris; and after sojourns in Lübeck, Kiel, and Copenhagen, they finally settled at Hamburg in 1814, and became celebrated as portrait painters. Aldenrath died in Hamburg in 1844. It is said that he painted the portrait of the King of Denmark no less than thirteen times. Among his lithographs may be mentioned the following:

His own Portrait.
Portrait of Friedrich Karl Gröger.
Portrait of Klopstock, the poet.
Portrait of Count Stolberg, the poet.
Portrait of Adolphus, Duke of Cambridge.
