Josef Heideloff II was a German painter and etcher, active in Austria. He was the son of the painter Joseph Heideloff I from Mainz. Around 1750 his father took him to Vienna, where he studied under Johann Christian Brand at the Vienna Academy. He produced a number of architectural views and landscape veduta of Lower Austria which are very interesting from a topographical point of view. He preferred the medium of gouache.
