Lopes Trovão

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

José Lopes da Silva Trovão, better known as Lopes Trovão (May 23, 1848 – July 17, 1925), was a Brazilian medical doctor, journalist, and politician.[1]

He was the son of Portuguese diplomats José Maria dos Reis Lopes Trovão and Maria Jacinta Lopes Trovão. He supported the Republican Manifesto of 1870 and was a noted orator, speaking out against the monarchy and slavery. Lopes Trovão served in the chamber of deputies between 1891 and 1895.[2] He was a senator from 1895 to 1902.[3]

He worked on a design for the Brazilian flag which was first presented in November 1889.[4] It was adopted for four days and became known as the Provisional Flag of the Republic.[5] Ultimately it was rejected as too similar to the U.S. flag upon which it was based.[6]

In his later years, Trovao served on the executive boards of several newspapers. He died in Rio de Janeiro in 1925.[2] A school was named after him in 1908.[7] A medal is awarded in his name, presented in his hometown of Angra dos Reis.[8]
