Painting Description
Vincenzo Maria Coronelli's Terrestrial Globe 54 is a remarkable artifact from the late 17th century, showcasing the advanced cartographic knowledge and artistic craftsmanship of its time. Coronelli, an Italian Franciscan friar, cosmographer, and cartographer, is renowned for his detailed and accurate globes, which were highly sought after by scholars and nobility across Europe. The Terrestrial Globe 54, created around 1688, is part of a pair of globes, the other being a celestial globe, designed to provide a comprehensive view of the known world and the heavens.
Measuring 54 inches in diameter, this terrestrial globe is notable for its large size and intricate detail. It features a wooden sphere covered with hand-painted paper gores, meticulously applied to ensure accuracy and aesthetic appeal. The globe is mounted on a wooden stand with a meridian ring and horizon circle, allowing for easy rotation and examination from various angles. The craftsmanship involved in creating such a globe required a deep understanding of geography, astronomy, and the latest discoveries from explorers and scientists of the era.
Coronelli's Terrestrial Globe 54 is distinguished by its detailed depiction of continents, countries, and regions, as well as its inclusion of various cartographic elements such as wind roses, compass roses, and decorative cartouches. The globe reflects the geographical knowledge of the late 17th century, including the latest discoveries in the New World and the still-mysterious regions of Africa and Asia. It also illustrates the political boundaries and territorial claims of European powers during a period of intense exploration and colonization.
The globe serves not only as a scientific instrument but also as a work of art, with its elaborate illustrations and calligraphy. Coronelli's attention to detail and artistic flair make the Terrestrial Globe 54 a valuable historical artifact, offering insights into the cartographic practices and geographical understanding of the early modern period. Today, it is considered a significant piece of cultural heritage, admired by historians, geographers, and art enthusiasts alike.
