"The Relics" is a lithograph by French artist Auguste Raffet from 1829. This artwork is an illustration for a book called "The Songs of Béranger" and is a detailed depiction of a scene where a man is praying before a shrine, perhaps an altar, adorned with relics. It is one of Raffet's many works exploring the historical period of the French Revolution, and his artistic style has been described as Romantic and Realism. The artwork is currently in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
