The Google doodle that commemorates the birth of Francisco González Bocanegra, author of the National Anthem

It is already a classic that the Google search engine likes to highlight certain historical figures of the culture of our country through a doodle. On this occasion it was the turn of Francisco González Bocanegra, lyrical author of the Mexican National Anthem, and today, January 8, his birth is commemorated.

González Bocanegra is remembered as a man with abundant black hair and a mustache. Doodle illustrated this by composing the hymn with a quill pen in hand, the inkwell, and some leaves. Behind him are elements alluding to Mexican identity: the eagle, a snake, a nopal and a mountain in the background. The Mexican was born in San Luis Potosí on January 8, 1824. He held high positions in the Mexican government administration, for example, theater evaluator during the presidency of Miguel Miramón. González Bocanegra won (out of 25 poets) a call from the Mexican government to perform the National Anthem. The composition consisted of 84 ten-syllable lines. The current version is four stanzas and a chorus. The composition stands out for being a lyrical work alluding to warlike and hilarious moments in Mexican history. Another notable work by the Mexican is Vasco Núñez de Balboa, a chivalric and romantic historical drama, a cultural product of the time.
