History


The dam was designed by Italian-born engineer François Zola, the father of novelist Émile Zola.[1][2] Its construction was initially rejected by Gaston Alexandre Auguste, Marquis de Galliffet, the landowner, in 1838.[1]

Zola founded the Société du Canal Zola in 1846 and began construction.[2] He died, however, in 1847, and the company was acquired by author and politician Jules Migeon in 1853.[2] Construction of the dam was completed on September 10, 1854, and it was dedicated on December 16, 1854.[2]

The dam was painted by Paul Cézanne in the 1880s.[3] The painting belonged to Paul Gauguin in 1885. It was purchased by Gwendoline Davies in 1918, who donated it to the National Museum Wales in 1952.[3]

[de] Zola-Talsperre

Die Zola-Talsperre (französisch barrage Zola) ist eine der frühesten Bogenstaumauern und möglicherweise die erste moderne Bogenstaumauer der Erde. Sie steht in der französischen Gemeinde Le Tholonet im Tal des Flusses Infernet, unterhalb der neueren und größeren Bimont-Talsperre. Zwischen 1854 und 1877 dienten die Staumauer und der zugehörige Kanal zur Versorgung von Aix-en-Provence mit Trinkwasser. Ihr Erbauer François Zola (1795–1847) war ein Ingenieur italienischer Abstammung und der Vater von Émile Zola.
