Vincenzo Maria Coronelli's Terrestrial Globe 25 is a remarkable artifact from the late 17th century, reflecting the zenith of cartographic and globe-making expertise of its time. Coronelli, an Italian Franciscan friar, cosmographer, and cartographer, is celebrated for his meticulous and artistic approach to globe-making. Born in Venice in 1650, Coronelli's works are distinguished by their precision, artistic detail, and the incorporation of the latest geographical discoveries of his era.

The Terrestrial Globe 25, created around 1688, is part of a pair of globes, the other being a celestial globe, which together represent the known world and the heavens as understood in the late 17th century. These globes were often commissioned by wealthy patrons and royalty, serving both as educational tools and as symbols of status and intellectual sophistication.

Crafted with a diameter of 25 inches, the Terrestrial Globe 25 is constructed from papier-mâché and covered with meticulously engraved and hand-colored paper gores. These gores are sections of a map that are pasted onto the spherical surface, a technique that allows for the accurate representation of the earth's geography on a three-dimensional object. The globe is mounted on a wooden stand, often elaborately decorated, which includes a meridian ring and a horizon ring, aiding in the demonstration of various astronomical and geographical concepts.

Coronelli's globes are renowned for their detailed and accurate depiction of the world, incorporating the latest discoveries from explorers such as Christopher Columbus, Ferdinand Magellan, and James Cook. The Terrestrial Globe 25 features detailed illustrations of continents, countries, and cities, as well as depictions of sea monsters, ships, and other embellishments that reflect the artistic sensibilities of the Baroque period.

The globe not only serves as a geographical tool but also as a historical document, capturing the state of knowledge and the worldview of the late 17th century. It is a testament to Coronelli's skill and dedication to the art of globe-making, and it remains a valuable piece for historians, geographers, and collectors alike. Today, examples of Coronelli's globes can be found in prestigious collections and museums around the world, where they continue to be admired for their beauty and historical significance.
