I've this issue but with a painting I once saw in a (school?) art book 30, 35 years ago. I'm pretty sure it was painted during the Renaissance, by an Italian painter. It shows a portrait of Jesus at the cross (so a closeup of his face), who's hollering in pain. Usually he was depicted all serene, but his expression in this painting is terror. Always stuck with me, but haven't seen it since, and occasionally I try to find it.
