Lorca has gone down in history as one of the great poets of the 20th century, but his creative activity included theater, prose, music, painting and drawing. Ascribed to the Generation of '27, he was the most influential and popular poet of 20th century Spanish literature. As a playwright, he is considered one of the greatest Spanish playwrights of the 20th century, along with Valle-Inclán and Buero Vallejo. He was shot to death by Franco's authorities one month after the coup d'état that marked the beginning of the Spanish Civil War.
