Grue, Francesco Saverio II Maria (Italian ceramicist and workshop director, 1731-after 1797)
|
Note: Francesco Saverio was the last member of the renowned Grue family to play an important role in maiolica production. After working with his family in Castelli, he moved to Naples in 1747 and worked at the Caserta Royal Maiolica Factory from 1753 to 1756. At the age of 27 Francesco Saverio applied to enter the royal porcelain factory at Capodimonte, founded by the king of Naples in 1758. The factory's manager initally refused his application, however, on the grounds that the technique of miniature painting on porcelain was different from that on maiolica, the medium to which he was accustomed. Francesco Saverio finally entered the Naples Royal Porcelain Factory in 1771 and four years later became its director of painting. In 1794 he was promoted to director of the tornanti (ceramists who work on the potter's wheel) and three years later was listed as a tornante himself. Francesco Saverio is particularly noted for his painted landscapes on pottery and porcelain. |
