Chemist, industrialist and art collector, Mond was born in Kassel, Germany, and moved to Britain in 1867, becoming one of the foremost industrial chemists of his period. He developed the mass production of alkali for the textile industry and, later, ammonia, 'Mond gas' and nickel. He spent part of his large fortune on a collection of early Italian art which he bequeathed to the National Gallery.
