The element antimony (Sb) was not "founded" by a single individual, as it has been known since ancient times. Early uses date back to 3100 BCE, with its compounds mentioned in Egyptian cosmetics.

The German chemist **Andreas Libavius** (late 16th century) is credited with isolating antimony metal. However, **Vannoccio Biringuccio** (1540) provided the first detailed description of its extraction.
