Coronelli, Vincenzo Maria (sold)
Vincenzo Maria Coronelli (August 16, 1650 - December 9, 1718) was an important 17th-century cartographer and globe maker based in Venice. Coronelli was born the fifth child of a Venetian tailor. Unlikely to inherit his father's business, he instead apprenticed in Ravenna to a woodcut artist. Around 1663, Coronelli joined the Franciscan Order and, in 1671, entered the Venetian convent of Saint Maria Gloriosa dei Frari. Coronelli excelled in the fields of cosmography, mathematics, and geography. Although his works include the phenomenal Atlante Veneto and Corso Geografico, Coronelli is best known for his globes. In 1678, Coronelli was commissioned to make his first major globes by Ranuccio II Farnese, Duke of Parma. Each superbly engraved globe was five feet in diameter. Louis IV of France, having heard of the magnificent Parma globes, invited Coronelli to Paris, where from 1681-83 he constructed an even more impressive pair of globes measuring over 12 feet in diameter and weighing 2 tons each. The globes earned him the patronage of Louis XIV and privileged access to French cartographic information from Jesuit sources in the New World, particularly Louisiana. Coronelli returned to Venice and continued to publish globes, maps, and atlases, which were admired all over Europe for their beauty, accuracy, and detail. He had a particular fascination for the Great Lakes region, and his early maps of this area were unsurpassed in accuracy for nearly 100 years after their initial publication. He is also well known for his groundbreaking publication of the first accurate map depicting the sources of the Blue Nile. At the height of his career, Coronelli founded the world's first geographical society, the Accademia Cosmografica degli Argonauti, and was awarded the official title Cosmographer of the Republic of Venice. In 1699, in recognition of his extraordinary accomplishment and scholarship, Coronelli was also appointed Father General of the Franciscan Order. The great cartographer and globe maker died in Venice at the age of 68. His extraordinary globes can be seen today at the Bibliothèque Nationale François Mitterrand in Paris, Biblioteca Marciana in Venice, the National Library of Austria, the Globe Museum in Vienna, the Library of Stift Melk, the Special Collections Library of Texas Tech University, as well as lesser works in Trier, Prague, London, and Washington D.C. Coronelli's work is notable for its distinctive style, which is characterized by the high-quality white paper, dark intense impressions, detailed renderings of topographical features in profile, and numerous cartographic innovations.

This is the globe gore focusing on the American southwest, engraved in 1688 for Vincenzo Coronelli's 42-inch (3 1/2 foot) terrestrial globe, reprinted in 1697 for inclusion in his Libro dei Globi and Isolario. This beautiful engraving is striking in its presentation of the insular California, but this is not its most important feature. Rather it represents the earliest correct depiction of the Rio Grande generally acquirable to the collector. (more details)

This is a beautiful 1688 Vincenzo Maria Coronelli globe gore focused on North America east of the Mississippi and west of the Chesapeake, engraved Coronelli's masterpiece 3 1/2 foot globe. The copperplate was adapted in 1697 for inclusion in Coronelli's bound atlases, masked off between the Tropic of Cancer and the Equator to fit book format. The gore covers most of North America east of the Mississippi, spanning from the Tropic of Cancer to the Arctic Circle. Thus, it shows the northern Gulf Coast, Florida, Chesapeake Bay, the Mississippi River (after La Salle), the Great Lakes, and Hudson's Bay. The geography is substantively the same as that on Coronelli's two-sheet America Settentrionale. Although that map bears the date 1688, it was not actually published any earlier than 1690 and it is very probable that the globes represent the earlier appearance of this geographical information.

This scarce, beautiful engraving is the globe gore presenting a map of the American northeast, the West Indies, and Terra Firma in South America, engraved in 1688 for Vincenzo Coronelli's 42-inch (3 1/2 foot) terrestrial globe, reprinted in 1697 for inclusion in his Libro dei Globi and Isolario. The map spans from the Equator in the south to Newfoundland in the north, centered on the Tropic of Cancer. It includes Canada in the vicinity of the Saint Lawrence River and Acadia, New England and New York, and part of the coastline around the Chesapeake Bay. The West Indies are shown from the Bahamas to Trinidad, stretching from the eastern part of Cuba to Barbados, including the imaginary island of Fonseca. The gore's southern extents show the northern parts of South America, from modern day Venezuela to the Orinoco Delta and the Guianas, and the fabled city of El Dorado. (more details)

This is a matched trio of globe gore sections covering most of South America, issued by Vincenzo Maria Coronelli in 1697. They are printed from the plates of Coronelli's 1688 3 1/2 foot Terrestrial globe. Coronelli considered the 1688 terrestrial and celestial globe pair to be his greatest work in print. He was not without justification: their superb engraving and encyclopedic geographic detail, not to mention their great size, set them easily amongst the finest globes produced in the 17th century. Desiring to display the quality of these works to a broader audience, and to challenge any potential competition, Coronelli published in 1697 a volume variously titled Libro dei Globi or Palestra Litteraria containing his globe gores (The title page bore a date of 1693, but the earliest known printing of the book was four years later.) 1697 was busy: Coronelli also included most of the gores from his terrestrial globe among conventional maps in his Atlante Veneto and Isolario that same year. In this case, less a product of the mapmaker's braggadocio and more a sensible reuse of expensively-produced copperplates. (more details)

This is V. Coronelli's rare and important 1689 map of Ayutthaya. representing the Siamese capital at the height of the Ayutthaya Period (1351 - 1767), considered a golden age for Thailand. At the time Ayutthaya was the largest most sophisticated city in the world, with a population exceedingly 1,000,000 people. The cartography here immediately predates the 1688 Siamese Revolution, and thus includes foreign settlements, churches, and schools, all of which were violently expelled shortly after. As such, this map also reflects the most sophisticated mapping of the Siamese capital through the 18th century. (more details)

This map depicts what is today Northern India, as well as parts of Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Burma, and Thailand. It extends from the Himalayas to the Bay of Bengal and from the Indus Valley to the Mekong River.

This is Vincenzo Maria Coronelli's large 1692 map of the Indian peninsula, presenting detail not appearing on any prior map.. Many of Coronelli's maps, even most of them, were derived from his globes - notably his 1688 42-inch terrestrial globe. However, the details here do not refer to his printed gores. Coronelli intended his initial atlases - his Atlante Veneto and Corso Geografico Universale - to be extensions of Blaeu's great atlas. Thus it makes sense that in the first volume of his work, Coronelli focused on peninsular India, a region neglected by Blaeu. While Blaeu had produced a map of the Mogul Empire based on the 1619 Baffin map, the full extent of India south of the Moguls was included only in Blaeu's general map of the East Indies. Coronelli was not the only mapmaker after Blaeu to address the region, but he was the first to present it in so grand a format. (more details)

While the southeastern portion of the island reflects the cartography of Étienne de Flacourt (1607 - 1660), who from 1648 to 1653 was French East India’s Governor of Madagascar, and who in 1658 published the first natural history of the island, this map includes detail beyond any of the French or Dutch maps sourced from Flacourt's manuscripts. Typical of Coronelli's meticulously researched work, the map provides a granular catalogue of the island's coastline toponymy. The interior has been broken into administrative regions, including tribal names not present on any earlier printed maps. (more details)

This is the 1697 Vincenzo Coronelli map of the Isole Tremiti. These rocky islands have a long history of settlement, despite the frequent earthquakes that give the islands their name. The map shows both of the main islands - San Domino, and San Nicola - but also the uninhabited La Carara (Capraia) Credazza (Cretaccio) and the diminuitive La Vecchia (an island so small that while its name appears on digital maps the island itself seldom does.) San Domino is shown with cultivated fields, terraces, a church, and neatly ordered dwellings. San Nicola is dominated by its great, fortified monastery. At the bottom of the map is shown 'Part of the Beach of the Capitaniata of the Kingdom of Naples,' 'Capitaniata' being an early term for the Province of Foggia. (more details)

This is a rare 1697 Vincenzo Coronelli map of the northern Greek Archipelago, showing Thessalia and north-western Turkey. The map focuses on the northern Aegean Sea and the Sea of Thrace, the Sea of Marmora, and their connection to the Black Sea via the Bosporus Strait. The Negroponte and Constantinople are prominent. Rich detail through offers historical notes illuminating both the recent history of the region, as well as the remote classical era, in order to lay the background for the momentous events celebrated in the map’s cartouche.

This beautiful, rare engraving is an unrecorded variant of Vincenzo Coronelli's bird's-eye view of Venice. While the work is unsigned, it has been attributed to the Dutch engraver Jan Lamsvelt (or Lansvelt.) The city's unmistakable, archipelagic layout is portrayed in meticulous detail, and the waters around the city are teeming with ships and galleys (including the state barge of the Doge of Venice, Il Bucintoro). The engraving is a reduced (approximately 2/3) version of Vincenzo Coronelli's 1693 Citta di Venezia, which combined Matthias Merian's meticulous bird's-eye view with a superbly-composed ribbon-and-laurel border, embellished with the coats of arms of the various dominions of the Venetian Republic. In addition to the change of scale, the engraver has translated the bulk of the text in the body of the map from the original Italian to French, to conform to the language of the 1699 Voyages du Mr. Du Mont printed in the Hague, for which this engraving was intended. At some point that year, the plate was amended, changing the title and the two instances of the name for the Venetian Lagoon from French to Dutch. This rather hasty alteration was made for the inclusion of the plate in the Dutch edition of Du Mont's Voyages printed in Utrecht, also in 1699. None of the rest of the French text has been changed, and the plate numbering engraved in the upper left corner is unchanged between the two states of the view. That the plate was first engraved in the French, followed with the minor alteration to create a Dutch version, seems self-evident. (more details)
