Judas Ischarioth was particularly popular at <strong>the</strong> show, <strong>and</strong> Schneider went on to describe<br />
it as such, “Judas, could be me. These are situations that go beyond <strong>the</strong> strength <strong>of</strong> a<br />
person…so I forgive him.” 18 It depicts Judas in <strong>the</strong> nude with his body bound with thorncovered<br />
vines. He is trudging over <strong>the</strong> thirty silver pieces that are red-hot <strong>and</strong> sear his<br />
feet. A vision <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> cross appears before him <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> angel <strong>of</strong> justice presides in <strong>the</strong><br />
background, judging Judas for his deed. Many who have analyzed this painting, along<br />
with Schneider’s comments, believe it to be a self-portrait. 19<br />
