"Nydia" is a notable painting by the American artist George Fuller (1822–1884), created in the latter part of the 19th century. The work is renowned for its portrayal of Nydia, a character from Edward Bulwer-Lytton's popular 1834 novel "The Last Days of Pompeii." In the novel, Nydia is a blind flower girl who becomes a central figure in the story, which is set against the backdrop of the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD that destroyed the ancient city of Pompeii.

Fuller's depiction of Nydia is imbued with the romanticism and emotional depth characteristic of his mature style. The painting captures the pathos of the blind girl's plight, reflecting the broader 19th-century fascination with classical themes and the dramatic moments of human experience. Fuller's use of light and shadow, along with his soft brushwork, contribute to the ethereal and poignant quality of the image, evoking a sense of both vulnerability and inner strength in the figure of Nydia.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merits but also for its cultural resonance during the period in which it was created. It reflects the era's interest in historical and literary subjects, as well as the romantic idealization of tragedy and heroism. "Nydia" is considered one of Fuller's masterpieces and is often cited as a prime example of American romantic painting. The work is held in high regard for its contribution to the narrative genre in American art and is frequently studied for its rich symbolism and emotional impact.

As a prominent piece within Fuller's oeuvre, "Nydia" has been exhibited in various art institutions and has been the subject of scholarly analysis. It remains an important work for understanding the evolution of American art in the context of 19th-century aesthetics and the cultural milieu that influenced artists of the time.
