Before I can take in the piece as a whole, I Must Find Judas. I can't enjoy it until I do. It's like I'm compelled to play a version of Where's Waldo? every time I see the Last Supper.
I quickly scan through all the apostles, holding my breath until I find him.
Who's missing a halo?

Or sporting a just-sucked-on-lemons countenance?

Or sitting apart from the others?

Or clutching a money-bag?

Then ... a-HA! There he is! OK, now I can take it easy and look at the rest of the piece.
So, um ... anyone else do this, or is it just me?
Weird, yes, but I do it too.
