Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite.


By his will of 1895, Alfred Bernhard Nobel (1833-1896) founded and funded the private institution which awards the annual Nobel prizes.

Alfred Nobel was a chemist and inventor. He invented dynamite and was also an arms manufacturer. His career brought him great wealth. At his death Albert Nobel bequeathed 31 million Swedish Kronor, a large part of his personal fortunes, to the establishment and ongoing role of the 'Nobel Foundation' institution.

Nobel Prizes are awarded, "to those who, during the preceding year, shall have conferred the greatest benefit on mankind."

The first Nobel Prizes were awarded in 1901, with separate prizes for benevolent achievements in the fields of Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, and Peace.
