Vincenzo Maria Coronelli's Terrestrial Globe 27 is a remarkable artifact from the late 17th century, showcasing the cartographic and artistic prowess of one of Italy's most renowned geographers and globe-makers. Coronelli, born in 1650 in Venice, was a Franciscan friar who gained international acclaim for his detailed and accurate maps and globes. His work is characterized by a meticulous attention to detail and a deep understanding of geography, which was advanced for his time.

The Terrestrial Globe 27, created around 1688, is part of a pair of globes, the other being a celestial globe, that Coronelli produced for the Duke of Parma, Ranuccio II Farnese. These globes are notable for their large size, with diameters of approximately 110 centimeters (43 inches), making them some of the largest globes produced during that era. The terrestrial globe is constructed from papier-mâché and wood, covered with hand-colored engraved paper gores that depict the known world with remarkable precision and artistry.

Coronelli's globes are celebrated not only for their geographical accuracy but also for their artistic embellishments. The Terrestrial Globe 27 features elaborate cartouches, sea monsters, ships, and other decorative elements that reflect the artistic sensibilities of the Baroque period. These embellishments serve both an aesthetic and educational purpose, providing viewers with a visual feast while also conveying information about the world as it was understood in the late 17th century.

The globe includes detailed representations of continents, countries, and cities, as well as information about various explorers and their voyages. It reflects the European perspective of the world during the Age of Exploration, with an emphasis on newly discovered lands and sea routes. The globe also includes speculative geography, illustrating areas that were not yet fully explored or understood.

Today, Terrestrial Globe 27 is considered a valuable historical artifact, offering insights into the state of geographical knowledge and cartographic techniques of the late 17th century. It stands as a testament to Vincenzo Maria Coronelli's legacy as one of the foremost globe-makers of his time, whose works continue to be admired for their beauty and precision.
