Federico García Lorca was one of the most prominent figures of the Spanish literary and artistic scene of the 20th century. He was born in the village of Fuente Vaqueros, near Granada, and grew up in a cultured environment that fostered his artistic inclinations. He studied law at university but soon abandoned it to pursue a career in literature and the arts. Lorca's poetry and plays address themes of love, death, nature, and the human condition, infused with surrealistic imagery and a strong sense of social and political commitment. Among his most famous works are the plays "Blood Wedding", "Yerma", and "The House of Bernarda Alba", and the poetry collections "Gypsy Ballads" and "Lament for Ignacio Sánchez Mejías". Lorca's life was tragically cut short in 1936, when he was executed by Francoist forces during the Spanish Civil War, for his political beliefs and his homosexuality.
