Nydia, the Blind Flower Girl of Pompeii
Sunday, July 24th, 2016In the past few days, we visited three museums that we’d never been to before, and we were pleasantly surprised to find that two of the three museums both have a copy of one of our favorite sculptures at the MFA! Turns out, there are a lot of copies of this sculpture and it was delightful to run in to two of them, two days in a row, in two different cities.
Just for fun, here’s a list of all of the versions of Randolph Rogers’ Nydia, the Blind Girl of Pompeii that I’ve seen so far:
- Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA – 1856, the MFA’s page on Nydia
- Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, NY – the Met’s page on Nydia
- Princeton University Art Museum, Princeton, NJ – Princeton’s page on Nydia
- New Britain Museum of American Art, New Britain, CT
- Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL – Art Institute’s page on Nydia
