Augusto Murer was an Italian sculptor, painter and partisan. He was one of the most significant Italian sculptors of the second half of the twentieth century, with a wide artistic production linked to themes of civil commitment, but also in search of the profound meaning of the human experience. His first artistic training took place at the Ortisei art school. Decisive for his growth has been the meeting and the brief collaboration with Arturo Martini, in Venice, in the autumn of 1943. Despite the subsequent divergence of their artistic and cultural paths, Murer always recognized his debt to Martini in terms of the conquest of esthetic sense. Beginning in 1953, after an exhibition at the Cairola Gallery in Milan, Murer established himself as a national artist, thanks to the recognition of important critics, such as Orio Vergani, and established artists such as Renato Birolli. In the following years and throughout the period up to the 80s, along with success, important commissions for the construction of monuments and civil works reached Murer, in which his effective expressionist realism stands out.

NYDIA, THE BLIND FLOWER GIRL OF POMPEII Marble Sculpture 1856-1870
Located in Soquel, CA
Randolph John Rogers (American, 1825 - 1892) Randolph Rogers' Nydia, the Blind Flower Girl of Pompeii debuted in 1856 to critical and public acclaim, solidifying Rogers’ position as a pre-eminent American sculptor and it remains one of the artist’s most celebrated works today. The subject of Nydia is drawn from Edward Bulwer-Lytton's The Last Days of Pompeii 1834. After touring the ruins of the ancient city in 1833, and inspired by the stories of blinding volcanic ash, he composed the tale of Nydia, a slave who led her master, Glaucus, to safety. Rogers depicts Nydia at the moment that she and Glaucus have become separated in their perilous journey through the rubble and Nydia seeks familiarity in the surrounding chaos, her distress evident in her pained expression. The grace of the sculpture is at odds with the turmoil portrayed; a toppled Corinthian capital lies at her feet and obstructs her next step, indicated by the tilt of her back foot and grip on her walking stick. Examples of this model can be found in major American collections, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

Bulletin of the Detroit Institute of Arts, Born in Waterloo, New York, Randolph John Rogers became an expatriate* sculptor of idealized figures, portraits, and commemorative works in Neo-Classical* and Realist* styles. He worked in clay, plaster, marble and bronze, and lived both in Italy and the United States. He made 167 examples of Nydia in two sizes (varies depending on base height) 36" and 54'. Rogers was raised in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and as a young man did woodcuts* for the local newspaper, The Michigan Argus, and also worked as a baker's assistant and a dry goods clerk. In 1847, he moved to New York City, where he hoped to find work as an engraver*, but failing to do so, worked in a dry goods store owned by John Steward...
