Vincenzo Maria Coronelli (1650-1718) was an Italian cartographer, cosmographer, and globe maker. He was one of the most prominent mapmakers of the late 17th century and early 18th century. Coronelli was a Franciscan friar and a member of the Conventual Franciscans.

In 1690, he published a map titled "Asia Divisa nelle sue Parti secondo lo stato presente," which translates to "Asia Divided into its Parts according to the Present State." This map depicted the Asian continent and its various regions based on the geographical knowledge available at that time.

Coronelli joined the Franciscan Order at a young age and later became known as a prolific mapmaker and one of the most significant geographical authors of the late 17th century.

He founded the world's first geographical society, the Accademia Cosmografica degli Argonauti, in Venice in 1684. As a skilled cartographer, Coronelli produced numerous maps and atlases, covering various regions of the world. His maps were celebrated for their accuracy and aesthetic beauty.

In addition to his cartographic work, Coronelli was famous for crafting magnificent globes. Some of his most remarkable creations were large, impressive terrestrial and celestial globes that showcased the latest geographical knowledge of his time.

Coronelli served as the cosmographer to the Venetian Republic and was appointed as the Official Geographer to the Republic of Venice. His dedication to cartography and geography earned him recognition and commissions from various rulers and institutions across Europe.

He produced a vast array of maps and atlases during his lifetime, making valuable contributions to the advancement of geographic knowledge. Vincenzo Maria Coronelli passed away on December 9, 1718, in Venice, leaving behind a legacy that continues to be appreciated in the world of cartography and historical geography.
