Fresh Honors for Zola the Hero by the French People
In Paris Place Dauphine a statue to Emile Zola is set for unveiling. The piece honors a complex figure whose life spanned poverty to national reverence, including his pivotal role in exposing the Dreyfus affair. The monument by Constantin Meunier and Alexandre Charpentier depicts Zola as patriot with scenes of the Assize court and labor and maternity figures. France regards him as a modern exemplar, celebrated despite mixed critical reception. Zola died in 1902 after a chimney gas accident, and his tomb bore the inscription J accusation.
