Who is Aldus?

Lucky us!  In time for our painting trip to Venice in May 2015, the Gallerie dell'Accademia will be showing 300 never-before-seen paintings in 5 new rooms!  All this will be at a cost of 600,000 Euros (currently around $750,000).

While most of the paintings will be from the 14th to 17th centuries, they'll also host temporary exhibitions of modern and contemporary art...the first 2 will be Willem de Kooning and Aldus (whom I don't know and just tried to look up in vain...does anyone know him?  Of course, I'm "assuming" it's a man...why do I assume that?!).
