Vincenzo Maria Coronelli, a renowned Italian cartographer and globe-maker of the 17th century, is celebrated for his detailed and artistic terrestrial and celestial globes. Among his notable works is the "Terrestrial Globe 17," a masterpiece that exemplifies the craftsmanship and scientific knowledge of the period. Coronelli's globes are distinguished by their large size, intricate detail, and the inclusion of both geographical and mythological elements, reflecting the era's blend of exploration and imagination.

"Terrestrial Globe 17" is part of a series of globes created by Coronelli, who was born in Venice in 1650 and became a Franciscan friar. His passion for geography and cartography led him to establish the Accademia Cosmografica degli Argonauti, the world's first geographical society. Coronelli's globes were highly sought after by European nobility and intellectuals, and they were often commissioned by prominent figures such as Louis XIV of France.

The globe itself is a remarkable artifact, typically constructed from papier-mâché and covered with meticulously engraved and hand-colored paper gores. These gores were carefully applied to the sphere, creating a seamless representation of the known world. Coronelli's globes are noted for their accuracy, artistic embellishments, and the inclusion of contemporary geographical discoveries. They often feature detailed illustrations of ships, sea monsters, and other decorative elements that provide insight into the period's cartographic conventions and artistic sensibilities.

"Terrestrial Globe 17" not only serves as a geographical tool but also as a work of art, showcasing Coronelli's skill in both scientific and artistic domains. The globe's detailed depiction of continents, oceans, and various territories reflects the state of geographical knowledge during the late 17th century, while its artistic flourishes highlight the cultural and aesthetic values of the time. Today, Coronelli's globes are considered valuable historical artifacts, offering a window into the world as it was understood over three centuries ago.
