Painting Description
The Terrestrial Globe 46 by Vincenzo Maria Coronelli is a remarkable artifact from the late 17th century, epitomizing the zenith of globe-making during the Age of Exploration. Vincenzo Maria Coronelli (1650-1718), an Italian Franciscan monk, cartographer, and cosmographer, is renowned for his meticulous craftsmanship and innovative approach to globe-making. His globes are celebrated for their accuracy, artistic beauty, and the wealth of geographical and astronomical information they encapsulate.
Terrestrial Globe 46, 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. The globe is constructed from papier-mâché and wood, covered with hand-colored engraved paper gores. It measures approximately 46 inches in diameter, making it one of the larger globes produced by Coronelli, who was known for creating globes of various sizes, including some as large as 15 feet in diameter.
The globe features detailed cartographic depictions of continents, countries, and regions, along with illustrations of ships, sea monsters, and other decorative elements that were typical of the period. Coronelli's work is distinguished by its precision and the inclusion of the latest geographical discoveries of his time, reflecting the expanding European knowledge of the world. The globe also includes numerous annotations and descriptions, providing insights into the geographical and cultural understanding of the era.
Coronelli's globes were highly sought after by European nobility and intellectuals, and they were often displayed in libraries and cabinets of curiosities as symbols of knowledge and prestige. The Terrestrial Globe 46 is not only a scientific instrument but also a work of art, showcasing the intricate craftsmanship and artistic sensibilities of its creator. Today, Coronelli's globes are considered valuable historical artifacts, offering a window into the cartographic and exploratory achievements of the 17th century.
