"Le quattro stazioni di Via Crucis sono tradizionalmente attribuite ai fratelli Grue, discendenti di una famosa famiglia di ceramisti della città di Castelli, in provincia di Teramo, attivi tra la fine del XVII e l’inizio del XVIII secolo. Negli esemplari di Tolentino, questi artisti ***aggiornano il loro linguaggio sull’istoriato di tipo urbinate***, che all’epoca era considerato un’avanguardia, accentuando le qualità pittoriche della decorazione. L’utilizzo di tinte brillanti denuncia anche un tributo ai modelli della coeva pittura napoletana e di Pietro da Cortona."
