    Luther publishes the 95 Theses

    https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Der_Anschlag_von_Luthers_95_Thesen.jpg 

    (best viewed using Google Chrome, which can automatically translate most pages as necessary) has info and links that point to info about this painting.

    https://www.schumann-portal.de/Julius-und-Pauline-Huebner.html 

    http://www.julius-huebner.de 

    all have info about this artist (the last is in German; but, again, Chrome can translate as necessary). So far, 2 works by him have been used here (3 times, with this repeat using a different caption). 

    https://www.gocomics.com/that-is-priceless/2018/01/06?comments=visible 

    has the repeat (Oil on canvas corrected here; my comment there included 2 of the artist info URLs.)

    Seems very appropriate to have a painting about Martin Luther today on MLK Day. Also, very suggestive to have the fat friar on the front left and starving child on the front right. (sorry, not funny today).
