Painting Description
Vincenzo Maria Coronelli, an illustrious Italian cartographer and globe-maker of the late 17th and early 18th centuries, is renowned for his meticulously crafted terrestrial and celestial globes. Among his notable works is the "Terrestrial Globe 23," a masterpiece that exemplifies the zenith of globe-making artistry during the Baroque period. Coronelli's globes are celebrated for their precision, intricate detail, and artistic beauty, reflecting the extensive geographical knowledge and cartographic skills of the era.
"Terrestrial Globe 23" 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 merely navigational tools but also works of art, often commissioned by royalty and the elite of European society. The globe is characterized by its large size, typically around three to four feet in diameter, and is mounted on an elaborate wooden stand, often adorned with ornate carvings and gilding.
The surface of "Terrestrial Globe 23" is a testament to Coronelli's dedication to accuracy and detail. It features meticulously drawn coastlines, mountain ranges, and rivers, along with the locations of major cities and regions known at the time. The globe also includes decorative elements such as sea monsters, ships, and elaborate cartouches that provide information about the globe's creation and the sources of its geographical data. These artistic embellishments not only enhance the visual appeal of the globe but also serve as a reflection of the Baroque era's fascination with exploration and discovery.
Coronelli's globes, including "Terrestrial Globe 23," were highly valued in their time and continue to be prized by collectors and historians today. They represent a unique intersection of science, art, and craftsmanship, offering a glimpse into the world as it was understood in the late 17th century. Through his globes, Coronelli has left an enduring legacy that highlights the importance of cartography in the history of human knowledge and exploration.
