The Terrestrial Globe 47 by Vincenzo Maria Coronelli is a remarkable example of cartographic artistry from the late 17th century. Vincenzo Maria Coronelli (1650-1718), an Italian Franciscan friar, cosmographer, and cartographer, is renowned for his detailed and aesthetically striking globes. His works are celebrated for their accuracy, craftsmanship, and the intricate artistry that adorns them. The Terrestrial Globe 47, created around 1688, is one of Coronelli's masterpieces, reflecting the geographical knowledge and artistic sensibilities of the period.

Coronelli's globes 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 47, like his other globes, was constructed using a papier-mâché core covered with a layer of plaster. This was then meticulously overlaid with hand-colored engraved gores, which are the map segments that form the surface of the globe. The globe is mounted on an elaborate wooden stand, often featuring intricate carvings and sometimes inlaid with precious materials, underscoring its status as both a scientific instrument and a work of art.

The globe itself is a testament to the cartographic knowledge of the late 17th century, depicting the known continents, oceans, and various geographical features with remarkable precision. It includes detailed illustrations of ships, sea monsters, and mythological figures, which were common decorative elements in maps and globes of that era. These embellishments not only served an aesthetic purpose but also reflected the contemporary blend of science, mythology, and art.

Coronelli's Terrestrial Globe 47 is not just a geographical tool but also a cultural artifact that offers insights into the historical context of its creation. It embodies the spirit of exploration and discovery that characterized the period, as well as the artistic and scientific advancements of the time. Today, Coronelli's globes, including the Terrestrial Globe 47, are highly valued by collectors and historians alike, and they continue to be studied for their historical significance and artistic merit.
