"Achilles in Armour, costume for 'Iphigenia in Aulis'" is an illustration from the second volume of "Research on the Costumes and Theatre of All Nations," a comprehensive study on theatrical costumes and stage design by the French artist Philippe Chery. This work, which delves into the visual aspects of theatrical productions across different cultures and historical periods, includes a series of illustrations that depict the attire of characters from various plays and operas. The illustration in question portrays the Greek hero Achilles as he would have been costumed for a performance of "Iphigenia in Aulis," a tragedy by the ancient Greek playwright Euripides.

The costume design reflects the 19th-century European interpretation of ancient Greek attire, with an emphasis on historical authenticity blended with the artistic sensibilities of the period. Chery's work is significant for its attempt to reconstruct and understand the visual and aesthetic dimensions of historical performances. The illustration of Achilles in armor is particularly noteworthy for its detailed representation of the warrior's attire, which would have been intended to evoke the grandeur and tragedy of the classical Greek epic narrative within the context of contemporary European theater.

Philippe Chery's "Research on the Costumes and Theatre of All Nations" is an important resource for scholars and enthusiasts of theater history, costume design, and the visual arts, as it provides insights into the evolution of stagecraft and the interpretation of classical texts in the modern era. The depiction of Achilles in this volume is just one example of Chery's meticulous research and artistic skill, contributing to the broader understanding of how historical and cultural narratives are visually represented on the stage.
