Note: Born in France, Metzger trained in Paris at the Ecole des Beaux Arts and Academie Julian before becoming a parish priest and settling in Saskatchewan. He opened his art studio in 1916, and humbly created works for many churches, in addition to painting portraits of important first nations leaders for historical record. Similar portraits of Chief Jumping Bear (who fought at the Custer Massacre of 1876) are found in the collection of the Mendel Art Gallery. Additional works are found in public collections such as the Mackenzie Art Gallery and the Art Gallery of Canada.
