Painting Description
Vincenzo Maria Coronelli, an eminent Italian cartographer and globe-maker of the late 17th and early 18th centuries, is renowned for his meticulously crafted terrestrial and celestial globes. Among his celebrated works is the "Terrestrial Globe 7," a masterpiece that exemplifies the zenith of globe-making during the Baroque period. Coronelli's globes are distinguished by their extraordinary detail, artistic elegance, and scientific accuracy, reflecting the geographical knowledge and cartographic advancements of his time.
"Terrestrial Globe 7" is part of a series of globes created by Coronelli, who was born in Venice in 1650 and later became a Franciscan friar. His globes were not merely navigational tools but also works of art, often commissioned by royalty and the elite of Europe. The globes were constructed using papier-mâché and plaster, then covered with meticulously engraved and hand-colored paper gores. These gores depicted the latest geographical discoveries, including the coastlines of the Americas, Africa, and Asia, as well as detailed representations of European territories.
Coronelli's globes are notable for their inclusion of both contemporary and historical cartographic information. They often feature elaborate illustrations, including sea monsters, ships, and mythological figures, which add a decorative and educational dimension to the globes. The "Terrestrial Globe 7" is no exception, showcasing Coronelli's skill in blending scientific precision with artistic flair.
The globes were typically mounted on wooden stands with brass meridians, allowing for rotation and examination from various angles. Coronelli's work was highly influential, contributing significantly to the field of cartography and the dissemination of geographical knowledge during the Age of Exploration. His globes remain highly prized by collectors and historians alike, serving as enduring symbols of the intersection between art, science, and exploration.
