This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.Metal plaque of Wilhelm Ostwald (1853-1932) in a fabric-covered picture frame. Ostwald is shown in profile. On the back of the frame is a handwritten note.
Ostwald was a German chemist and philosopher. In 1909, he received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work on catalysis and for his investigations into the fundamental principles governing chemical equilibria and rates of reaction.
Ostwald and his colleagues Jacobus Henricus van 't Hoff (1852-1911), Walther Nernst (1864-1941), and Svante Arrhenius (1859-1927) are considered to be the founding fathers of the field of physical chemistry. When he retired in 1906, Ostwald studied art, philosophy, and politics.
