"Britannicus, costume for 'Britannicus', from Volume II of 'Research on the Costumes and Theatre of All Nations' by Philippe Chery, is a detailed illustration and analysis of the attire used in the theatrical production of Jean Racine's tragedy 'Britannicus'. This work is part of a larger compendium by Philippe Chery, a noted 19th-century French artist and costume designer, who dedicated his career to the meticulous study and documentation of theatrical costumes from various cultures and historical periods.

The illustration of the Britannicus costume captures the essence of the Roman attire that would have been worn by the titular character, Britannicus, the son of Roman Emperor Claudius, in the play. Racine's 'Britannicus', first performed in 1669, is a classic example of French neoclassical tragedy, focusing on themes of power, betrayal, and familial conflict within the Roman Empire. Chery's depiction is not merely an artistic endeavor but also an academic one, aiming to provide an accurate representation based on historical sources and contemporary theatrical practices.

Chery's work is significant for its contribution to the understanding of historical costume design and its influence on the visual aspects of theatrical productions. His research involved a thorough examination of historical texts, artifacts, and previous artistic interpretations to ensure authenticity and accuracy. The costume for Britannicus, as presented in Volume II, reflects the opulence and authority associated with Roman nobility, featuring intricate details such as the toga, armor, and accessories that would have been emblematic of the era.

Philippe Chery's 'Research on the Costumes and Theatre of All Nations' is a valuable resource for historians, costume designers, and theatre practitioners. It provides insight into the evolution of costume design and its role in enhancing the narrative and emotional impact of theatrical performances. The Britannicus costume, in particular, exemplifies the meticulous craftsmanship and historical fidelity that Chery strived for in his work, making it a noteworthy example of 19th-century costume research and design."
