By Rouault maybe? Georges Rouault (1871 -1958 ).
He went through a period of focusing on religious subjects. It's not easy to get photos of the paintings online, but he painted quite a few with titles like:
Christ on the Cross
Crucifixion: Do you love one another?
Here's a link to one photo of one of his crucifixion scenes:

This one seems to be what you were describing

Yellowish tone? Hmm...interesting if this is not the effect of oxidation and aging of the paint...the artist had a point with that choice of "yellow" like "yellow journalism" or "yellow belly?"

It sounds like Gauguin (not a Fauvist).
