The earliest known depiction of the crucifixion of Jesus is a parody, it is this graffiti drawn about the year 200 in the slave bathroom of an imperial Palace. The inscription translates as  "Alexamenos worships his God ''. It is making fun of somebody named "Alexamenos" who apparently was a Christian, and at the time a derogatory nickname for "Jesus" was the "donkey headed God " . I think it looks like BoJack Horseman:

But that graffiti was drawn about 400 years before Muhammad was born and over 450 years before the Quran was written.
