Painting Description
"Planiglobii Terrestris Cum Utroq Hemisphaerio Caelesti" is a meticulously crafted and colored copperplate world map created by the renowned German cartographer Johan Baptist Homann. Measuring 52 by 59.5 centimeters, this map is a significant example of early 18th-century cartography and showcases Homann's exceptional skills in both geographical representation and artistic embellishment.
Johan Baptist Homann (1664-1724) was a prominent figure in the field of cartography during the Baroque period. He founded the Homann Heirs, a publishing house that became one of the most influential map publishers in Europe. Homann's maps are celebrated for their accuracy, detail, and aesthetic appeal, and "Planiglobii Terrestris Cum Utroq Hemisphaerio Caelesti" is no exception. This particular map is notable for its dual hemispherical design, which not only depicts the terrestrial globe but also includes celestial hemispheres, offering a comprehensive view of both the Earth and the heavens.
The map is richly colored and intricately detailed, reflecting the advanced cartographic knowledge of the time. It includes various geographical features such as continents, oceans, and islands, as well as political boundaries and significant cities. The celestial hemispheres are adorned with representations of constellations, enhancing the map's educational value and visual appeal.
Homann's work is characterized by its blend of scientific precision and artistic flourish. The decorative elements, such as elaborate cartouches, mythological figures, and ornate borders, add to the map's grandeur and make it a valuable piece for collectors and historians alike. The map's condition, described as "min. besch." (minimally damaged), suggests that it has been well-preserved, maintaining its historical and aesthetic significance over the centuries.
"Planiglobii Terrestris Cum Utroq Hemisphaerio Caelesti" stands as a testament to Johan Baptist Homann's legacy as a master cartographer and his contribution to the field of mapmaking. It remains a cherished artifact that offers insights into the geographical knowledge and artistic sensibilities of the early 18th century.
