Painting Description
Vincenzo Maria Coronelli's Terrestrial Globe 34 is a remarkable artifact from the late 17th century, exemplifying the height of cartographic and artistic achievement of its time. Coronelli, an Italian Franciscan friar, cosmographer, and cartographer, is renowned for his detailed and aesthetically striking globes, which were highly sought after by the European elite. Born in Venice in 1650, Coronelli's work was characterized by meticulous craftsmanship and a profound understanding of geography, astronomy, and navigation.
The Terrestrial Globe 34, created around 1693, is part of a pair of globes, the other being a celestial globe, which together provided a comprehensive view of the known world and the heavens. This particular globe stands out due to its impressive size, intricate detailing, and the use of advanced cartographic techniques of the period. Measuring approximately 110 centimeters in diameter, it was constructed using a papier-mâché core overlaid with meticulously engraved and hand-colored copperplate gores.
Coronelli's globes were not merely geographical tools but also works of art. The Terrestrial Globe 34 features elaborate illustrations, including ships, sea monsters, and allegorical figures, which embellish the geographical information. These artistic elements reflect the Baroque style prevalent during Coronelli's lifetime, adding a layer of cultural and historical context to the globe.
The globe's cartography is notable for its accuracy and detail, representing the latest geographical knowledge of the late 17th century. It includes detailed depictions of continents, countries, and regions, with particular attention to coastlines and navigational routes. The globe also incorporates contemporary discoveries and explorations, showcasing Coronelli's commitment to updating his work with the latest information available.
Today, Terrestrial Globe 34 is considered a valuable historical artifact, offering insights into the scientific and artistic endeavors of the Baroque period. It is preserved in various collections and continues to be studied by historians, geographers, and art enthusiasts, who admire Coronelli's contribution to the fields of cartography and globe-making.
