Vincenzo Maria Coronelli
Vincenzo Maria Coronelli was an Italian Franciscan, cartographer and encyclopedist. In 1663, very young, he entered the Franciscan order of the Friars Minor Conventual, becoming a novice in 1665 and 1701, he became Minister General. In 1671, Coronelli entered the Convent of Santa Maria Gloriosa Dei Frari in Venice and 1672 in the order of the Collegio San Bonaventura in Grottaferrata. Later he also specialized in astronomy and Euclidean mathematics. From 1678, Coronelli began to work in geography and was commissioned to build globes that represented the Earth and the celestial bodies for the Duke of Parma Ranuccio II Farnese. In 1681, Coronelli moved to Paris, where he would remain two years, here the fame of Coronelli as master in the production of Globes became famous throughout Europe, so much so that Cardinal d'Estrées, a French ambassador of Louis XIV in Rome, he ordered two globes to be assigned to Louis XIV, to embellish the Royal Library of the Palace of Versailles. Returning to Venice in 1684, Coronelli was appointed cosmographer at the University of the Most Serene Republic of Venice and founded the Academy of the Argonauts, the first geographical society in the world.

- 'Londoners' 1940s EtchingsLocated in London, GBThree etchings from Péri’s observations of people on the streets of London. These small prints were intended to be sold in groups as folding booklets, like postcards. The top etching is closely reminiscent of Péri’s “Class System” which is in the Tate collection (as pictured). “In Class System 1946 (Tate P14973) Peri used close observation of social difference to make a political point about reconstruction and inequality after the end of the Second World War. On the left a man dressed in a suit and hat stands on the pavement, his hand on his hip, leaning on his umbrella. On the right the same pose is adopted by a man standing in the road, wearing a flat cap, shirt-sleeves and heavy boots, but he leans on a pneumatic drill. The figures are clearly identified as upper class and working class by their clothing, and the composition juxtaposes the idleness of the man standing on the pavement with the active manual labourer ready to begin work, implying their relative contribution to the reconstruction of Britain in the aftermath of the Second World War.” Artist: Peter László Péri Date: 1940s Framed size: 22 x 42cm Mounting: Raised-float mounted using acid-free Japanese wheat-starch paste and Japanese paper...Category
