Randolph Rogers (July 6, 1825, Waterloo, New York – January 15, 1892) was an American sculptor. He was a prolific sculptor of subjects related to the American Civil War and other historical themes. Rogers studied in Florence, Italy, from 1848 until 1853. After that, he opened a studio in Rome, Italy, and resided in that city until his death in 1892. Rodger's best known work, Nydia, the Blind Flower Girl of Pompeii was based on an episode from Edward Bulwer-Lytton's best seller, The Last Days of Pompeii. His works include the Columbus Doors of the United States Capitol in Washington D.C., the Soldiers Monument at Gettysburg National Cemetery, and the Michigan Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument in Detroit, Michigan. Rogers' impressive statue of a Union infantryman on guard, "The Sentinel," was installed in Spring Grove Cemetery in Cincinnati in 1865; it was one of Ohio's first formal Civil War monuments. Rogers' seated bronze portrait of Secretary of State William H. Seward (1876), is at the southwest entrance to the Madison Square, New York.
