Framed Print of Nydia, the Blind Flower-Girl of Pompeii... by C. F. Fuller, in the Royal Academy exhibition, 1868 Creator: Unknown
Nydia, the Blind Flower-Girl of Pompeii, gathering flowers in the garden of Glaucus, by C. F. Fuller, in the Royal Academy exhibition, 1868. Sculpture inspired by Lord Lytton's Last Days of Pompeii'. That portion of the narrative...seems in particular to offer a subject very susceptible of artistic treatment, and it has accordingly found a worthy illustrator in Mr. Fuller, of Florence, one of the most distinguished of our younger race of sculptors. Regarded from a technical point of view, this marble statue appears to us to indicate a marked advance in power on the part of the sculptor; the execution generally is as skilful and finished as in former works, but the carving of the flesh more happily expresses the soft rounding of the female forms in youth and health by those cushiony adipose tissues which at once nourish and beautify. The groping, apprehensive, keenly-listening habit so sadly characteristic of blindness, is also well expressed in the elevated chin, as she stoops feeling for the flowers; ah! how sweet-scented for her. There is much artistic feeling, too, although there may be less of strict physiological truth in the treatment of the eyes. Instead of the vacant stare of the born blind, they peer, as if she fain would see'. From Illustrated London News, 1868.
