Painting Description
The Terrestrial Globe 43, crafted by the renowned Italian cartographer and globe-maker Vincenzo Maria Coronelli, stands as a significant artifact in the history of cartography and geographic exploration. Coronelli, born in 1650 in Venice, was a Franciscan friar whose passion for geography and map-making led him to become one of the most prominent globe-makers of the 17th century. His globes are celebrated for their intricate detail, artistic beauty, and scientific accuracy, reflecting the geographical knowledge and discoveries of his time.
The Terrestrial Globe 43, created around the late 17th century, is part of a series of globes that Coronelli produced, which also includes celestial globes. These globes were highly sought after by scholars, navigators, and the European elite, serving both as educational tools and as symbols of wealth and intellectual prestige. The globe is meticulously crafted, featuring hand-painted illustrations and inscriptions that depict the continents, oceans, and various geographical features known during Coronelli's era.
One of the distinguishing features of Coronelli's globes is their large size and the level of detail they encompass. The Terrestrial Globe 43, like its counterparts, is mounted on a wooden stand, allowing it to be rotated and examined from different angles. This functionality not only made it a practical tool for navigation and education but also a decorative piece that showcased the owner's sophistication and interest in the expanding world.
Coronelli's work on the Terrestrial Globe 43 reflects the cartographic knowledge of the late 17th century, incorporating the latest discoveries from explorers and navigators. It includes detailed coastlines, the locations of various cities and regions, and even speculative geography based on the limited information available at the time. The globe also features elaborate illustrations of ships, sea monsters, and other artistic elements that were common in maps and globes of the period, adding to its aesthetic appeal.
Today, the Terrestrial Globe 43 by Vincenzo Maria Coronelli is considered a valuable historical artifact, offering insights into the geographical understanding and artistic sensibilities of the 17th century. It is preserved in various museums and collections around the world, where it continues to be studied and admired by historians, geographers, and enthusiasts of cartographic history.
