"Nydia, the Blind Flower Girl of Pompeii" is a renowned marble sculpture created by American neoclassical sculptor Randolph Rogers in 1853. The work is inspired by the character Nydia from Edward Bulwer-Lytton's popular 1834 novel "The Last Days of Pompeii." In the novel, Nydia is a blind flower seller who, despite her disability, plays a crucial role in guiding others to safety during the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.

Rogers' sculpture captures a poignant moment of Nydia's struggle and determination. The figure is depicted in a dynamic pose, with her body slightly twisted and her head turned as if she is listening intently, emphasizing her reliance on her other senses due to her blindness. The intricate detailing of her flowing garments and the delicate flowers she holds add to the emotional depth and realism of the piece.

The sculpture was highly acclaimed for its technical mastery and emotional expressiveness, contributing significantly to Rogers' reputation as a leading sculptor of his time. "Nydia, the Blind Flower Girl of Pompeii" became one of Rogers' most celebrated works and was reproduced in multiple versions, which were displayed in various museums and private collections across the United States and Europe.

Rogers' ability to convey complex human emotions and narratives through his sculptures is evident in this work. "Nydia, the Blind Flower Girl of Pompeii" not only showcases his skill in marble carving but also reflects the 19th-century fascination with classical antiquity and romantic literature. The sculpture remains an important example of American neoclassical art and continues to be admired for its artistic and historical significance.
