GARCIA GUTIERREZ, ANTONIO (1812-1884)

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GAG-GEO
GARCIA GUTIERREZ, ANTONIO (1812-1884) , Spanish dramatist, was born at
Chiclana
  (Cadiz) on the 5th of July 1812, and studied
medicine
  in his native town. In 1832 he removed to Madrid, and earned a scanty living by translating plays of Scribe and the elder Dumas; despairing of success, he was on the point of enlisting when he suddenly sprang into fame as the author of El Trovador, which was played for the first time on the 1st of
March
  1836. Garcia Gutierrez never surpassed this first effort, which placed him among the leaders of the romantic
movement
  in Spain, and which became known all over Europe through Verdi's music. His next
great
  success was Simon Bocanegra (1843), but, as his plays were not lucrative, he emigrated to Spanish America, working as a journalist in Cuba and
Mexico
  till 185o, when he returned to Spain. The best works of his later period are a zarzuela entitled El Grumete (1853), La Venganza catalana (1864) and Juan Lorenzo (1865). He became head of the archaeological museum at Madrid, and died there on the 6th of August 1884. His Foes-1as (184o) and another volume of lyrics, entitled Luz y tinieblas (1842), are unimportant; but the brilliant versification of his plays, and his power of analysing femini%e emotions, give him a foremost place among the Spanish dramatists of the 19th
century
 .
