Painting Description
Vincenzo Maria Coronelli, an eminent Italian cartographer and globe-maker of the late 17th and early 18th centuries, is celebrated for his intricate and scientifically advanced terrestrial and celestial globes. Among his notable creations is the "Terrestrial Globe 5," a masterpiece that exemplifies the cartographic knowledge and artistic craftsmanship of its time. Coronelli's globes are renowned for their accuracy, detail, and aesthetic appeal, reflecting the geographical understanding and artistic sensibilities of the Baroque period.
"Terrestrial Globe 5" is part of a series of globes produced by Coronelli, who was appointed as the official cosmographer to the Republic of Venice. His globes were highly sought after by European nobility and intellectuals, serving both as educational tools and as symbols of prestige. The globe, typically measuring around 110 centimeters in diameter, is constructed from a wooden sphere covered with papier-mâché and finished with meticulously engraved and hand-colored paper gores.
The surface of "Terrestrial Globe 5" is adorned with detailed depictions of continents, oceans, and various geographical features, including mountain ranges, rivers, and cities. Coronelli's work is distinguished by its inclusion of contemporary discoveries and explorations, providing a snapshot of the world as understood in the late 17th century. The globe also features elaborate cartouches, sea monsters, ships, and other decorative elements that enhance its visual appeal and reflect the artistic conventions of the period.
Coronelli's globes, including "Terrestrial Globe 5," are not only significant for their cartographic precision but also for their role in the dissemination of geographical knowledge. They represent a fusion of science and art, embodying the spirit of inquiry and discovery that characterized the Age of Exploration. Today, Coronelli's globes are prized by collectors and historians alike, offering valuable insights into the history of cartography and the broader cultural and intellectual currents of early modern Europe.
