About the Item

A large and Rare French 18th-19th century Copper Overlaid Portrayal Relief Medallion of The Renown French Chemist ANTOINE LAVOISIER (1743-1794). The ovoid shaped shield crowned with a large bow tie within a ring centered with the relief bust of Lavoisier gazing slightly to the left and wearing a jacket and cravat. The bottom with an acanthus scroll, Paris, circa 1800. Measures: Height 49 inches (124.5 cm), width 31 inches (78.7 cm), depth 18 3/4 inches (48 cm). Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier (also Antoine Lavoisier after the French Revolution (26 August 1743 - 8 May 1794) was a French nobleman and chemist central to the 18th-century chemical revolution and a large influence on both the history of chemistry and the history of biology. He is widely considered in popular literature as the "father of modern chemistry". This label, however, is more a product of Lavoisier's eminent skill as a self-promoter and underplays his dependence on the instruments, experiments, and ideas of other chemists.
