Painting Description
The Terrestrial Globe 55 by Vincenzo Maria Coronelli is a remarkable artifact from the late 17th century, exemplifying the intricate craftsmanship and advanced geographical knowledge of its time. Vincenzo Maria Coronelli (1650-1718) was an Italian Franciscan friar, cosmographer, and cartographer, renowned for his detailed and artistic globes and maps. His works were highly sought after by European nobility and scholars, and they played a significant role in the dissemination of geographical knowledge during the Age of Exploration.
The Terrestrial Globe 55, created around 1688, is one of Coronelli's masterpieces. It is part of a pair, typically accompanied by a celestial globe, and is known for its impressive size, with a diameter of 55 centimeters (hence the name). The globe is meticulously crafted, featuring hand-painted illustrations and inscriptions that depict the known world of the time. It includes detailed representations of continents, countries, and various geographical features such as mountains, rivers, and seas. The globe also showcases the routes of famous explorers, reflecting the expanding horizons of European exploration and colonization.
One of the distinguishing features of Coronelli's globes is the combination of scientific accuracy and artistic elegance. The Terrestrial Globe 55 is adorned with elaborate cartouches, sea monsters, ships, and other decorative elements that enhance its visual appeal. These artistic embellishments not only serve an aesthetic purpose but also provide insights into the cultural and historical context of the period.
Coronelli's globes were highly valued for their educational and decorative qualities. They were often displayed in the libraries and cabinets of curiosity of the European elite, symbolizing wealth, knowledge, and a connection to the broader world. Today, the Terrestrial Globe 55 is considered a significant historical artifact, reflecting the cartographic and artistic achievements of the late 17th century. It is preserved in various museums and collections, where it continues to be studied and admired by historians, geographers, and art enthusiasts alike.
