Painting Description
Vincenzo Maria Coronelli, an eminent Italian cartographer and globe-maker of the late 17th and early 18th centuries, is renowned for his meticulous and artistically crafted globes. Among his notable works is the "Terrestrial Globe 29," a masterpiece that exemplifies the zenith of globe-making during the Baroque period. Coronelli, born in Venice in 1650, was a Franciscan friar whose passion for geography and cartography led him to create some of the most detailed and accurate globes of his time.
The "Terrestrial Globe 29" is part of a series of globes that Coronelli produced, which were highly sought after by scholars, navigators, and collectors. These globes were not merely navigational tools but also works of art, reflecting the scientific knowledge and artistic sensibilities of the era. Coronelli's globes are distinguished by their large size, intricate detail, and the inclusion of both geographical and mythological elements. They often featured elaborate illustrations, including sea monsters, ships, and allegorical figures, which added a decorative and educational dimension to the globes.
Coronelli's work on the "Terrestrial Globe 29" involved extensive research and collaboration with other scholars and explorers. He meticulously compiled data from various sources, including maps, travel accounts, and astronomical observations, to ensure the accuracy of his representations. The globe showcases the known world of the late 17th century, with detailed depictions of continents, countries, and cities, as well as the latest discoveries and explorations of the time.
The craftsmanship of the "Terrestrial Globe 29" is evident in its construction. Made from papier-mâché and covered with hand-painted paper gores, the globe is mounted on an elegant wooden stand, often adorned with intricate carvings. The attention to detail and the quality of materials used in its creation reflect Coronelli's dedication to his craft and his desire to produce globes that were both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Today, Coronelli's globes, including the "Terrestrial Globe 29," are considered valuable historical artifacts. They provide insight into the geographical knowledge and artistic practices of the Baroque period and continue to be admired for their beauty and precision. These globes are preserved in various museums and collections around the world, where they remain a testament to Vincenzo Maria Coronelli's legacy as one of the greatest globe-makers in history.
