Painting Description
"Ulysses, costume for 'Iphigenia in Aulis', from Volume II of 'Research on the Costumes and Theatre of All Nations' by Philippe Chery, is a notable illustration that captures the intricate and historically informed design of theatrical costumes in the early 19th century. Philippe Chery, a distinguished French artist and costume designer, embarked on an ambitious project to document and analyze the diverse costumes and theatrical traditions from various cultures around the world. His work, 'Research on the Costumes and Theatre of All Nations', is a comprehensive collection that spans multiple volumes, each dedicated to different aspects of theatrical costume design and performance practices.
The illustration of Ulysses' costume for the play 'Iphigenia in Aulis' is a testament to Chery's meticulous attention to detail and his dedication to historical accuracy. 'Iphigenia in Aulis', a tragedy by the ancient Greek playwright Euripides, tells the story of Agamemnon's decision to sacrifice his daughter Iphigenia to appease the goddess Artemis and secure favorable winds for the Greek fleet to sail to Troy. Ulysses, also known as Odysseus, plays a crucial role in the narrative, and his costume reflects the heroic and regal attributes associated with his character.
Chery's depiction of Ulysses' costume is characterized by its elaborate design, which includes elements typical of ancient Greek attire, such as the chiton, himation, and various accessories that signify Ulysses' status as a revered warrior and leader. The illustration not only serves as a visual representation of the character but also provides valuable insights into the theatrical conventions and costume design practices of the period. Chery's work is highly regarded for its contribution to the study of theatrical history and costume design, offering a rich resource for scholars, historians, and enthusiasts of the performing arts.
Overall, 'Ulysses, costume for 'Iphigenia in Aulis'' exemplifies Philippe Chery's commitment to preserving and celebrating the cultural heritage of theatrical costume design, making it a significant piece within the broader context of his extensive research on global theatrical traditions."
