Description
Antoine 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. He showed that air was composed of oxygen and nitrogen. This engraving, based on an original by French artist Genevieve Brossard de Beaulieu (c.1770-1815), was taken from Edouard Grimaux's biography of Lavoisier, and published in the third volume (first period of 1889) of the French popular science weekly 'La Science Illustree'.
