Constellations of Sculptor and Fornax . Sculptor was originally L'Atelier du Sculpteur, named by Abbe Nicolas de Lacaille between 1751 and 1752. It was made from stars that were originally between Cetus and Phoenix. Lacaille later Latinised this name to Apparatus Sculptoris. Fornax was created out of several faint stars in the southern part of Eridanus, also by de Lacaille, who originally named this obscure grouping le Fourneau (the Furnace) in the 1750s. The name was later Latinised (by Bode) to Fornax Chimiae, the Chemical Furnace in honor of the famous French chemist Antoine Lavoisier, who was guillotined in 1794 during the French Revolution.
