About Jean Berger
Lived 1682 – 1717 (aged 34–35). Jean Berger was a Canadian painter.
Jean Berger ( – after 1709), was a soldier from France who is known to have been in Lower Canada from about 1700 to 1709. He seems to have spent a significant portion of that time dealing with problems with the law.
His importance to Canadian history lies in his painting career. It is certain that he produced important Religious painting: a 1706 painted altar frontal for the church of La Sainte-Famille on Île d’Orléans. A number of important portraits are generally ascribed to him. Two are in the McCord Museum of Canadian History at McGill University including one of Jean-Baptiste Hertel de Rouville.
