Painting Description
Vincenzo Maria Coronelli, an eminent Italian cartographer and globe-maker of the late 17th and early 18th centuries, is renowned for his exquisite and meticulously crafted terrestrial and celestial globes. Among his celebrated works is the "Terrestrial Globe 16," a masterpiece that exemplifies the pinnacle of cartographic art and scientific knowledge of its time. Coronelli's globes are distinguished by their remarkable accuracy, detailed geographical information, and artistic elegance, making them highly prized by collectors and historians alike.
The "Terrestrial Globe 16" is part of a series of globes created by Coronelli, who was born in Venice in 1650 and became a member of the Franciscan order. His globes were not only scientific instruments but also works of art, reflecting the baroque aesthetic of the period. Coronelli's globes were known for their large size, often reaching diameters of up to five feet, and were constructed using papier-mâché and plaster, which were then covered with meticulously engraved and hand-colored paper gores.
Coronelli's globes were highly sought after by the European elite, including royalty and scholars, for their accuracy and beauty. The "Terrestrial Globe 16" features detailed depictions of the continents, seas, and various geographical features known at the time. It also includes illustrations of ships, sea monsters, and other decorative elements that were typical of the period's cartographic style. The globe reflects the state of geographical knowledge in the late 17th century, incorporating the latest discoveries and explorations.
In addition to their aesthetic and scientific value, Coronelli's globes were also educational tools, used in universities and by navigators to teach and understand geography and navigation. The "Terrestrial Globe 16" is a testament to Coronelli's skill and dedication to the art of globe-making, and it remains a significant artifact in the history of cartography. Today, Coronelli's globes are preserved in museums and private collections, where they continue to be admired for their historical significance and artistic beauty.
