In the years 1871-1884 Georg Cantor invented the theory of infinite sets. In the process Cantor constructed a set that is self-similar at all scales. Magnifying a portion of the set reveals a piece that looks like the entire set itself.

Cantor came up with naive set theory and developed by Frege, but the set theory used today, axiomatic set theory, came to us through Ernst Zermelo and Alfred Fraenkel. Zermelo and Fraenkel's work came about because Bertrand Russell found a fatal flaw in naive set theory known now as Russell's Paradox.
We now call the axioms underlying set theory the ZFC axioms, for Zermelo-Fraenkel-Choice (where choice is an axiom, not a name).

Cantor is the big one, but Russell deserves mention.
