We discussed his self-portrait, which amusingly showed his narcissistic tendencies, as he portrayed himself as looking very similar to Christ. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We discussed the <em>Isenheim Altarpiece <\/em>by Grunewald, which portrays a ghastly scene and gives references to a few works that we have previously discussed.
