Small Urn with Silenus by Francesco Grue, Walters Art Museum, 1720

Francesco Antonio Xaverio Grue (1686-1746), was an Italian potter and painter.

Biography

Grue was born in Castelli, Abruzzo, into a family of maiolica potters and painters. In 1716, after studying for a time in Urbino, he traveled to Naples. There Grue produced many ceramic works, especially plates decorated with landscapes or putti in the center, and tendril or festoon borders. Wares were also often signed and dated. In 1736 he returned to his hometown and continued to work until his death in 1746.
