Trireme studies

Descrizione:

The studies of the Renaissance Humanists flowed into numerous treatises on naval art that saw the light of day during the 17th and 18th centuries. Starting from mythological iconography, scholars and artists proposed nautical solutions - especially on the ergonomics of rowing - that were sometimes fanciful and difficult to apply. Etching pasted on cardboard depicting various studies and sections of trireme.

Cheering the Winner

Descrizione:

From the second half of the 19th century, generic marine paintings gave way to “yacht portraits” depicting precise boats, identifiable in their shapes, sails and colours. These subjects, created by the great British masters of marine painting, belong to a typology that is almost unobtainable in Italy and are the result of a fashion that during the 19th century prompted ship-owners and sailing ship captains to commission professional painters to paint portraits of their vessels.
The painting was exhibited at the Royal Academy in London and belonged to the collector Beppe Croce: part of his collection can now be admired at the Galata Museo del Mare, in a room reproducing the interior of a late 19th-century English yacht club, inspired by the legendary Royal Yacht Squadron, the most prestigious nautical club in the United Kingdom. Gouache painting in shades of black and white depicting a group of men on board a yacht, caught in the act of greeting the people on board two boats passing by to the left in the background.

Globe

Descrizione:

Coronelli made his first globes in 1678 for the Duke of Parma, Ranuccio II the Farnese. These were two large globes 1.75 meters in diameter of exquisite workmanship, representing the Earth and the celestial vault.

His reputation as a master in the production of globes quickly spread throughout Europe, and in 1681 Cardinal d'Estrées - French ambassador of Louis XIV (the Sun King) to Rome - called him to Paris to build two large globes intended to adorn the Library of the Palace of Versailles.

To build the two globes (each having a diameter of 382 cm), which still exist today and belong to the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, Coronelli enlisted the collaboration of various cartographers, geographers and artists and had access to all the latest geographical discoveries, such as explorers' travel diaries that told of Lands not yet fully investigated.

He would later build other spheres, such as the 1700 3.25-meter one for Pope Innocent XII, which has been lost, for the emperor, for the British Academy, to the pocket globes built in 1693 and 1697 of 12 and 6 cm in diameter.
