Action Enchained, Bronze statue in Puget-Théniers, France
The Action Enchained statue stands 2.15 meters tall and 0.97 meters long, depicting a female figure through classical artistic representation in bronze material.
Created by French sculptor Aristide Maillol in 1905, the statue was installed in 1908 as a memorial to revolutionary Louis-Auguste Blanqui, born in Puget-Théniers.
The monument brings together political and artistic elements, supported by notable figures including Georges Clemenceau and representing themes of restraint and freedom.
The statue is located in a small square near a children's garden, accessible to visitors exploring the outdoor sculptures of Puget-Théniers.
During World War II, local residents protected the bronze sculpture by hiding it in the village slaughterhouse, preventing its seizure by Nazi forces.
