Marie-Elmina Anger (December 24, 1844 – November 5, 1901) was a Catholic nun and artist in Quebec. She was also known as Sister Marie de Jésus.
The daughter of Séraphin Anger and Rose de Lima Anger, she was born in Pointe-aux-Trembles (later Neuville), Lower Canada. She was educated by the Good Shepherd Sisters of Québec. She became a novice in 1860 and took her vows three years later. She was first assigned to teaching but, after her talent for painting was discovered, she began taking private lessons with a portrait artist Eugène Hamel.[1]
She painted more than sixty canvases on religious themes which can be found in churches in Quebec, Ontario and New England.[2] She also painted portraits of prominent Quebec religious figures, including Marie-Josephte Fitzbach, the founder of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd in Quebec, Élisabeth Bruyère, Émilie Tavernier, Marie-Anne-Marcelle Mallet, Archbishop Charles-François Baillargeon, Archbishop Elzéar-Alexandre Taschereau and Charles-Félix Cazeau.
She died in Quebec City at the age of 56.[3]
