Painting Description
Vincenzo Maria Coronelli's Terrestrial Globe 32 is a remarkable artifact from the late 17th century, exemplifying the advanced cartographic knowledge and artistic craftsmanship of its time. Coronelli, an esteemed Italian cartographer and cosmographer, was renowned for his detailed and accurate globes, which were highly sought after by scholars and nobility alike. The Terrestrial Globe 32, created around 1696, is part of a pair that includes a celestial counterpart, showcasing the comprehensive understanding of both the Earth and the heavens that characterized the period's scientific endeavors.
The globe is notable for its impressive size, with a diameter of 32 inches, making it one of the larger globes produced by Coronelli. It is constructed from papier-mâché and plaster, materials that were commonly used in the creation of globes during this era. The surface of the globe is meticulously hand-painted, featuring detailed geographical information, including continents, countries, cities, and various topographical features. The artistic embellishments, such as sea monsters, ships, and elaborate cartouches, reflect the baroque style prevalent in Coronelli's work, adding both aesthetic appeal and a sense of wonder to the scientific instrument.
Coronelli's Terrestrial Globe 32 is not only a testament to the cartographic knowledge of the 17th century but also to the era's spirit of exploration and discovery.
