Juan Antonio Bouzas (also spelledGarcía Bouzas; c. 1680 – 23 May 1755) was a Spanish painter of theBaroque period. He was born atSantiago de Compostela. He was a pupil ofLuca Giordano atMadrid. The troubles occasioned by the war of the succession obliged him to withdraw himself from Madrid, and he returned to his native city. His principal works are in the churches at Santiago. In the cathedral is a picture ofSt. Paul and St. Andrew, and in the convent of the Dominicans are two altar-pieces by him. He painted easel pictures which bear a resemblance to those of his master.
