Gentil Theodoor Antheunis

Gentil Theodoor Antheunis (Oudenaarde, 9 September, 1840Elsene, 5 August, 1907) was a Flemish poet. He was the son-in-law of Hendrik Conscience, whose only daughter Maria he married in 1870.

From 1859 until 1860, he was a teacher in the college of Oudenaarde and in 1861 he became a teacher in Dendermonde. After his early career as a teacher he studied law at the University of Ghent, where he graduated in 1866. He became a judge on 1 January 1868 in Oostrozebeke, later in Torhout, on 15 July 1877 he became a judge at Halle and finally in Brussels.

He wrote songs and poems in several newspapers and journals, of which several were put to music by Willem De Mol, such as "Lentelied", "Ik ken een lied", "Droeve tijden", and "Bethlehem". They were published in one volume in 1873. In 1874, he was awarded for a minnelied (E: romantic song) by the Antwerp Chamber of rhetoric, "De Olijftak" (E: Olive branch). In addition he wrote "Uit het hart"', "Liederen en gedichten" (Dendermonde en Leiden, 1875); "Liederkrans uit de Loverkens" van Hoffmann von Fallersleben, met muziek van G. Antheunis (Ghent, 1877); "Leven, lieven en zingen" (Ghent, 1879), "Naar wijd en zijd" (1905, put on music by François-Auguste Gevaert). A now relatively unknown song of him is "Mijn Vlaanderen heb ik hart'lijk lief", on a tekst of Theofiel Coopman. He was buried in Oudenaarde, where the "Gentiel Antheunisplein" is named after him.
