Vincenzo Maria Coronelli's Terrestrial Globe 40 is a remarkable artifact from the late 17th century, exemplifying the pinnacle of cartographic and artistic achievement of its time. Coronelli, an Italian Franciscan monk, cosmographer, and cartographer, is renowned for his meticulous and innovative approach to globe-making. His globes were not merely navigational tools but also works of art, reflecting the geographical knowledge and cultural perspectives of the era.

The Terrestrial Globe 40, created around 1688, is part of a pair of globes, the other being a celestial globe, which together represent the known world and the heavens as understood in the late 17th century. These globes were commissioned by prominent patrons, including royalty and wealthy collectors, who sought to display their erudition and status through ownership of such exquisite objects.

Crafted with a diameter of approximately 40 inches (hence the name), the Terrestrial Globe 40 is constructed from papier-mâché and covered with meticulously engraved and hand-colored copperplate gores. The globe is mounted on an elaborate wooden stand, often adorned with intricate carvings and sometimes gilded, reflecting the opulence and craftsmanship of the period.

Coronelli's globes are celebrated for their accuracy and detail. The Terrestrial Globe 40 features a wealth of geographical information, including the latest discoveries of the time, such as the coastlines of the Americas, Africa, and Asia. It also includes detailed depictions of various regions, cities, and even mythical creatures and sea monsters, which were common in maps of the period. The globe serves as a fascinating historical document, providing insight into the contemporary understanding of the world's geography and the interplay between science, exploration, and art.

Today, surviving examples of Coronelli's globes are highly prized by museums and collectors. They are considered masterpieces of cartography and are studied for their historical significance and artistic beauty. The Terrestrial Globe 40, in particular, stands as a testament to Vincenzo Maria Coronelli's genius and his contribution to the field of cartography.
