@celesteh There is a depiction of Jesus that is pretty much taken from pagan artwork, and that is the Good Shepherd, extremely common (much more than the crucifixion) in early Christian contexts, taken basically from Hermes Kriophoros.I think that the context is different, with the Kriophoros being related to the sacrifice of a sheep, rather than to a parable about somebody who saves sheep from the wolves, but the images are pretty much the same (to the point where there are multiple examples where we have no idea which one of the two the artwork was supposed to represent.On the other hand, it feels quite fair to me that somebody who had converted to a new religion would be taking artwork tropes from their own culture and adapt them, especially in the context of a pagan culture where syncretism was the norm, and vaguely similar deities from different cultures were routinely associated with each other.
