Survey of fictional works on Nicodemus.
Overview
Nicodemus figures prominently in the Christian iconography of the Deposition in which he and Joseph of Arimathea are shown removing the dead Jesus of Nazareth from the cross, often with the aid of a ladder.
The meeting between Jesus and Nicodemus is less often depicted in traditional iconography. In modern movies on Jesus of Nazareth, the episode offers the opportunity for a cameo by renowned actors, such as Joseph Schildkraut in The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965 Stevens), film, or Laurence Olivier in Jesus of Nazareth (1977 Zeffirelli), film.
