Pierre Le Ber (1669 - 1 October 1707), a son of Jacques Le Ber and brother of Jeanne Le Ber, was a painter from Montreal.
Le Ber was a member of two of the wealthiest families in the colony and used his wealth to be a generous member of his community, founding an almshouse. He contributed to the Congregation of Notre Dame, likely because of his sister, Jeanne, was a recluse there. He was one of the founders and supporters of the Brothers Hospitallers (Hôpital Général of the Charon brothers).[1]
Le Ber was considered an untalented amateur painter in his lifetime. In 1965, his so-called primitive painting of Marguerite Bourgeoys, restored in 1963-1964 in New York,[2] brought him to the attention of the Canadian art world and his surviving work and his life have been examined. The oil painting of Marguerite Bourgeoys as a nearly 80-year old compassionate woman who suffered and shared the suffering of others is in the possession of the mother house of the Congregation of Notre Dame, Montreal.[3] His work marks him as an important artist of the time.
