Painting Description
Vincenzo Maria Coronelli's Terrestrial Globe 20 is a remarkable artifact from the late 17th century, showcasing the cartographic and artistic prowess of one of Italy's most renowned globe makers. Coronelli, a Franciscan friar, geographer, and cosmographer, is celebrated for his detailed and aesthetically captivating globes, which were highly sought after by European nobility and scholars of his time. The Terrestrial Globe 20, created around 1688, exemplifies the intricate craftsmanship and advanced geographical knowledge of the period.
This globe, with a diameter of approximately 110 centimeters, is constructed from papier-mâché and coated with a layer of plaster, upon which the meticulously engraved and hand-colored maps are affixed. The globe is mounted on an elegant wooden stand, often adorned with elaborate carvings and gilding, reflecting the opulence of its intended audience. The maps themselves are a testament to Coronelli's dedication to accuracy and detail, featuring not only the continents and oceans but also an array of geographical features such as mountain ranges, rivers, and cities. Additionally, the globe includes illustrations of ships, sea monsters, and mythological figures, blending scientific inquiry with artistic expression.
Coronelli's Terrestrial Globe 20 is notable for its depiction of the world as understood in the late 17th century, incorporating the latest discoveries from explorers and navigators. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the historical context of global exploration and the evolving comprehension of the Earth's geography. The globe also serves as an educational tool, offering insights into the cartographic techniques and materials used during the Baroque period.
Today, Terrestrial Globe 20 is considered a valuable piece of historical and artistic heritage, often displayed in museums and collections dedicated to the history of cartography and exploration. Its preservation allows contemporary audiences to appreciate the ingenuity and artistry of Vincenzo Maria Coronelli, whose work continues to inspire admiration and scholarly interest.
