Painting Description
Vincenzo Maria Coronelli's Terrestrial Globe 33 is a remarkable artifact from the late 17th century, exemplifying the intricate craftsmanship and advanced geographical knowledge of its time. Coronelli, an Italian Franciscan friar, cosmographer, and cartographer, is renowned for his detailed and accurate globes, which were highly sought after by scholars and nobility across Europe. Born in Venice in 1650, Coronelli's work reflects the city's rich tradition of cartography and exploration.
The Terrestrial Globe 33, created around 1693, is part of a series of globes that Coronelli produced, which also includes celestial globes. These globes were not merely decorative objects but were used as educational tools and symbols of prestige. The globe is meticulously crafted, with a diameter of approximately 110 centimeters (43 inches), making it one of the larger globes of its era. It is constructed from papier-mâché and wood, covered with hand-painted paper gores that depict the known world with remarkable accuracy for the period.
Coronelli's globes are distinguished by their detailed cartographic content, which includes not only geographical features such as continents, countries, and cities but also illustrations of ships, sea monsters, and other decorative elements that reflect the artistic sensibilities of the Baroque period. The Terrestrial Globe 33 is particularly noted for its inclusion of recent discoveries and updated geographical information, showcasing Coronelli's commitment to incorporating the latest knowledge from explorers and scientists.
The globe also features extensive annotations in Latin, providing insights into the geographical and cultural understanding of the late 17th century. These annotations often include references to historical events, mythical locations, and contemporary scientific theories, making the globe a rich source of information for historians and researchers.
Today, Terrestrial Globe 33 is considered a valuable historical artifact, representing the intersection of art, science, and exploration during the Age of Discovery. It is preserved in various museums and private collections, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic beauty and historical significance.
