Nydia, also known as Nydia, the Blind Flower Girl of Pompeii, is a renowned marble sculpture created by American artist Randolph Rogers in 1853-1854. The artwork depicts a character from Edward Bulwer-Lytton's 1834 novel "The Last Days of Pompeii," which was a bestseller at the time. Nydia is the blind flower girl who becomes a pivotal character in the story, guiding other protagonists to safety as Mount Vesuvius erupts and destroys the ancient city.

The sculpture captures Nydia in a moment of intense drama and emotion, as she navigates through the chaos of the eruption. Her face is marked by a sense of determination and fear, while her body is in motion, reflecting her urgency to escape the disaster. Rogers' work is celebrated for its exquisite detail and the lifelike representation of Nydia's delicate features and flowing garments.

Nydia became one of Rogers' most famous works, with numerous replicas produced in various sizes for collectors in the United States and Europe. The sculpture's popularity during the 19th century can be attributed to the public's fascination with classical themes and the romanticized portrayal of heroism and tragedy. Today, Nydia remains an important example of American neoclassical sculpture and is held in several museum collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

The sculpture not only reflects the artistic skills of Randolph Rogers but also serves as a cultural artifact that illustrates the influence of literature on visual arts during the period. Nydia's enduring appeal demonstrates the power of art to capture and convey human emotion and the timeless stories that resonate across generations.
