EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite marble sculpture of "Nydia, The Blind Flower Girl of Pompeii" created by Randolph Rogers in 1888. Standing at an impressive height of 139.7 cm, this neoclassical masterpiece is housed in the prestigious Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The sculpture depicts Nydia, a virtuous and blind flower girl from Edward Bulwer-Lytton's novel "The Last Days of Pompeii" published in 1834. In the aftermath of Vesuvius' eruption, Nydia finds herself separated from her companions as darkness engulfs the doomed city. Her heightened sense of hearing becomes her salvation as she navigates through destruction and chaos towards safety on the seashore. Rogers skillfully captures Nydia's struggle and bravery through his intricate craftsmanship. The delicate features and graceful posture convey both vulnerability and resilience simultaneously. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder of human strength amidst adversity. The use of marble adds to its timeless beauty, enhancing every detail with a sense of permanence. Through this sculpture, Rogers invites viewers to contemplate not only Nydia's physical blindness but also our own limitations when faced with overwhelming circumstances. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back to ancient Pompeii while contemplating themes such as sight versus perception, courage in times of crisis, and the power that lies within our senses.
