Excerpt from Souvenir Of The Church Of St. Anne de Beaupre: Together With A Short Historical Sketch Of The Founding Of The Church And Its Evolution From The Beginning Of The Seventeenth Century To The Present Time

This painting from the brush of the famous Lebrun was given to the church in 1666 by the Viceroy in fulfilment of solemn promise made by him when in peril on the sea during his voyage to Canada. The subject is mostly copied from Ruben's Education of the Virgin which is to be seen in the Antwerp museum. According to the custom of the time, the marquis and marquise de Tracy are represented on the same canvas, dressed as pilgrims, paying their homage to the saint.
