The obituary discusses Grothendieck's contributions to modern algebraic geometry between the late 1950's and 1970. It discusses the development of schemes over general commutative rings together with their functorial interpretation and presents the motivations behind Grothendieck topologies and the crystalline topology defined on categories with corresponding cohomology theories, comparison theorems and the theory of motives.
