Painting Description
Vincenzo Maria Coronelli, an Italian Franciscan friar and cartographer, is renowned for his exceptional contributions to the field of globe-making during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Among his celebrated works is the "Terrestrial Globe 22," a masterpiece that exemplifies the intricate craftsmanship and advanced geographical knowledge of the period. Born in Venice in 1650, Coronelli's fascination with geography and cartography led him to create some of the most detailed and artistically impressive globes of his time.
The "Terrestrial Globe 22" is part of a pair of globes, the other being a celestial globe, which Coronelli meticulously crafted to provide a comprehensive view of the world as it was known in the late 1600s. Measuring 110 centimeters in diameter, this globe is notable not only for its size but also for the precision and artistry involved in its creation. Coronelli's globes were commissioned by various European nobility and intellectuals, reflecting the high demand for accurate and aesthetically pleasing representations of the world.
The globe features detailed cartographic information, including the latest discoveries and geographical knowledge of the era. It showcases continents, countries, and various regions with remarkable accuracy, considering the period's limitations in exploration and mapping technology. Coronelli's work is distinguished by its elaborate illustrations, including depictions of ships, sea monsters, and mythological figures, which add a decorative and educational dimension to the globe.
In addition to its geographical content, the "Terrestrial Globe 22" is a testament to Coronelli's skill as an engraver and artist. The globe's surface is covered with meticulously engraved gores, which are sections of a map printed on paper and then carefully applied to the spherical surface. This technique required immense precision and expertise, highlighting Coronelli's dedication to his craft.
Today, the "Terrestrial Globe 22" is considered a valuable historical artifact, offering insights into the cartographic knowledge and artistic sensibilities of the late 17th century. It stands as a symbol of the era's spirit of exploration and the quest for knowledge, embodying the intersection of science, art, and craftsmanship.
