Vincenzo Maria Coronelli was an Italian cartographer, geographer, and mathematician who lived from 1650 to 1718. He was a prominent figure in the field of mapmaking during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Coronelli was known for his elaborate and detailed maps, globes, and atlases.

In 1691, Coronelli published a work titled "Mare Del Sud Detto Altrimente Mare Pacifico" ("The South Sea, Otherwise Known as the Pacific Ocean"). This publication focused on the Pacific Ocean, which was known as the South Sea at the time. Coronelli's work included maps and descriptions of the Pacific Ocean, its coastlines, islands, and other geographical features.

During that period, European explorers were beginning to venture into the Pacific, and there was growing interest in understanding the vastness and significance of this ocean. Coronelli's work contributed to the geographical knowledge of the time and helped disseminate information about the Pacific Ocean to a wider audience.

Coronelli's maps and atlases were highly regarded for their accuracy and artistic beauty. He was a skilled cartographer and incorporated decorative elements into his maps, such as elaborate compass roses, vignettes, and ornate cartouches. His works were often commissioned by prominent figures and institutions of the time, including royalty and religious orders.

Overall, Vincenzo Maria Coronelli's "Mare Del Sud Detto Altrimente Mare Pacifico" played a significant role in expanding the understanding of the Pacific Ocean and its exploration during the late 17th century. His contributions to the field of cartography continue to be appreciated and studied by historians and map enthusiasts today.
