Antoine Lavoisier, French chemist
Antoine Laurent Lavoisier (1743-1794), French chemist. Lavoisier is considered to be the founder of modern chemistry. He was instrumental in the use of accurate measurement in chemistry for the study of the composition of materials, and the study of oxidation and other combustion reactions. Lavoisier deduced that air consisted of oxygen and nitrogen. His book Methods of Chemical Nomenclature (1787) set the method of naming substances by their composition of elements, a method which is still used today

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Antoine Lavoisier, a pioneering French chemist whose contributions revolutionized the field of chemistry. In this 18th-century colored illustration, we see Lavoisier portrayed as a distinguished and visionary figure. Lavoisier's groundbreaking work centered around precise measurements in chemistry, enabling him to study the composition of various materials with unparalleled accuracy. His meticulous investigations into oxidation and combustion reactions led him to deduce that air consisted of oxygen and nitrogen - a discovery that laid the foundation for our understanding of atmospheric composition. Not only did Lavoisier make significant scientific breakthroughs, but he also left an indelible mark on chemical nomenclature. His influential book, "Methods of Chemical Nomenclature" published in 1787, introduced a systematic method for naming substances based on their elemental composition - a practice still employed today. As we gaze upon this historical portrait, we are reminded not only of Lavoisier's immense intellect but also his role as one of history's most important scientists. This image serves as a testament to his unwavering dedication to advancing knowledge and his enduring legacy as the founder of modern chemistry.
