Vincenzo Maria Coronelli's Terrestrial globe 21 is a remarkable example of cartographic craftsmanship from the late 17th century, reflecting the geographical knowledge and artistic sensibilities of its time. Coronelli, an Italian Franciscan friar, cosmographer, and cartographer, is renowned for his detailed and ornate globes, which were highly sought after by European nobility and scholars. The Terrestrial globe 21, created around 1688, is part of a pair of globes that also includes a celestial counterpart, showcasing the heavens as understood during the period.

Coronelli's globes are distinguished by their large size, intricate detail, and the use of copperplate engraving, which allowed for high precision and clarity. The Terrestrial globe 21 features meticulously drawn continents, seas, and various geographical features, accompanied by elaborate illustrations and annotations. These annotations include information on the latest discoveries of the time, reflecting the Age of Exploration's impact on European knowledge of the world. The globe also includes mythological and historical references, blending scientific observation with artistic expression.

One of the most notable aspects of Coronelli's work is his attention to both accuracy and aesthetics. The Terrestrial globe 21 is not only a tool for navigation and education but also a work of art, with decorative elements such as cartouches, sea monsters, and ships adorning the surface. These embellishments serve to captivate the viewer's imagination while providing context and commentary on the mapped regions.

Coronelli's globes were produced in his workshop in Venice, where he employed a team of skilled artisans to assist in their creation. The globes were constructed using a wooden sphere covered with papier-mâché and then overlaid with engraved gores, which are the printed segments that form the map. This method allowed for a high degree of accuracy and detail, making Coronelli's globes some of the most advanced of their time.

Today, the Terrestrial globe 21 by Vincenzo Maria Coronelli is considered a valuable historical artifact, offering insights into the geographical knowledge and artistic practices of the late 17th century. It remains a testament to Coronelli's skill and vision, continuing to inspire admiration and study among historians, cartographers, and art enthusiasts alike.
