December 21, 2011 We are happy to announce that an inspired explanation of the Holy Trinity is now available on the website. Please find it here or under the Biblical Paintings section.
December 16, 2011 In the four months that our Biblical Paintings section has been available on the website, we have noticed increased traffic to it from around the world. Pierre was inspired to translate this section of his website into a number of languages to accommodate non-English speaking visitors. Listed below are the languages that the Biblical Paintings section will be translated into. These languages cover the vast majority of the world's population. For those that you who know, and for those visitors that we have had, who do not read the English language we are happy to announce that they will soon have access to the site in their own language.
We are doing our best to make these available as soon as possible and with God's help they should be launched early next year.
2012 News & Events Celebration of the 20th Anniversary The Pierre Bittar Gallery is proud and honored to announce its 20th anniversary in 2012. This event wouldn't have been possible without your contribution and love of Pierre's art. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of Pierre's collectors and express to them our gratitude by announcing a special purchasing opportunity of a 20% savings on all original oil paintings as well as lithographs during 2012. The Life of Our Lord Through Pierre Bittar Paintings This is an exceptional mission that God granted to Pierre after listening to his prayers and Pierre has spent the entire 2011 working on these paintings. Now with God’s help and guidance he has accomplished this mission. All 14 paintings with their corresponding biblical verses are now published at www.pierrebittar.com under Biblical Paintings as well as a Video interview of Pierre in his studio painting and an animated Radio interview in which Pierre explains his work. Pierre has just finishing writing a book explaining in detail this extraordinary event. This book also summarizes his relationship with Jesus since he was 11 and all the miracles and blessings he has received. The book illustrates in colors all these paintings with their corresponding verses from the bible. This book of approximately 170 pages will be available at the opening of the PIERRE BITTAR MUSEUM and will be entitled: THE LIFE OF OUR LORD Painted and Presented by Pierre Bittar. The Pierre Bittar Museum This Museum is scheduled to be opened to the public during the spring of 2012. It will permanently occupy the first level (the street level) of the gallery and will contain all of the Life of Our Lord paintings. The paintings will be nicely displayed in sequence, starting with the Annunciation, followed by the Birth of Jesus and so on till the last painting of His life which is the Ascension of Jesus Christ. The Museum will contain as well the original oil paintings of Pierre's private collection since 1956. Giclees Giclee is a printing technology which allows for reproduction of original oil painting on canvas. Although it uses ink, the ink spray results are quite satisfactory. Pierre doesn’t allow the use of giclees for his original paintings that he sells out of respect for collectors who possess the original. But for all of his paintings displayed in the Museum, due to the fact they are not for sale, he gives the opportunity to those who are interested in having a giclee print to order one in the size they desire or as shown in this year’s Christmas card, a detail can be selected for the giclee and also ordered in any desired size. We hope to see you next year in the new Pierre Bittar Museum and the Gallery as well. Have a Wonderful Christmas & a Joyful 2012.
