Monument aux Girondins.

With the detailed statues and water spray, this fountain in Bordeaux, France, looks like an action movie. The horses have webbed and clawed hoofs.

 

It was created between 1894 and 1902 in honour of the Girondins, a group of moderate, bourgeois National Assembly deputies during the French Revolution, 22 of whom were executed in 1793 after being convicted of counter-revolutionary activities.
