Painting Description
The Terrestrial Globe 35 by Vincenzo Maria Coronelli is a remarkable artifact from the late 17th century, showcasing the advanced cartographic knowledge and artistic craftsmanship of its time. Vincenzo Maria Coronelli (1650-1718) was an Italian Franciscan friar, cosmographer, and cartographer, renowned for his detailed and accurate globes and maps. His works were highly sought after by European nobility and intellectuals, and they played a significant role in the dissemination of geographical knowledge during the Age of Exploration.
The Terrestrial Globe 35 is part of a series of globes created by Coronelli, which includes both terrestrial and celestial representations. These globes were typically large, often measuring several feet in diameter, and were constructed using a wooden framework covered with papier-mâché and then overlaid with meticulously engraved and hand-colored paper gores. The terrestrial globes depicted the known world with remarkable precision, incorporating the latest discoveries and geographical information available at the time.
Coronelli's globes are celebrated not only for their scientific accuracy but also for their artistic beauty. They feature elaborate illustrations, including depictions of ships, sea monsters, and various mythological figures, which add a decorative and educational dimension to the globes. The Terrestrial Globe 35, like Coronelli's other works, would have included detailed cartographic information such as the locations of continents, countries, cities, rivers, and mountains, as well as annotations and notes on various regions.
These globes were often commissioned by wealthy patrons and institutions, and they served both as educational tools and as symbols of status and intellectual sophistication. Today, Coronelli's globes are considered valuable historical artifacts, providing insight into the geographical knowledge and artistic sensibilities of the late 17th century. They are preserved in various museums and collections around the world, where they continue to be studied and admired for their contribution to the history of cartography and exploration.
