The artist has got the period wrong & the clothes too.
Martin Luther was the monk who became a heretic. Publishing the Ninety-Five Theses by nailing them to the door of the Castle Church of Wittenberg, on Hallowe'en, the eve of All Souls' Day, 31 October 1517 made him firstly famous then excommunicated. The actual 95 are at Ninety Five Theses ex Wiki in the original Latin but without a translation; a curious omission but they are at Martin Luther's 95 Theses in English.

Luther also wrote The Jews And Their Lies. He
was on the right lines with Holy Mother Church
& with the hatred that Jews have for us. See
The Burden Of
Luther for an informed view or, confirmation at
The Jewish Question - Suggested Readings with Commentary, Part One of Three The Enlightenment and Jewish ‘Emancipation’.
NB The Talmud is full of hate, full of lies. It was
written by Jews, for Jews. We are supposed to be kept ignorant of it. Ditto for
the Kabbalah.
Martin Luther ex Wiki
QUOTE
Martin Luther ; 10 November 1483 – 18 February 1546) was a German monk, former Catholic priest, professor of theology and seminal figure of a reform movement in sixteenth century Christianity, subsequently known as the Protestant Reformation.[1] He strongly disputed the claim that freedom from God's punishment for sin could be purchased with money. He confronted indulgence salesman Johann Tetzel with his Ninety-Five Theses in 1517. His refusal to retract all of his writings at the demand of Pope Leo X in 1520 and the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V at the Diet of Worms in 1521 resulted in his excommunication by the pope and condemnation as an outlaw by the Emperor.Luther taught that salvation is not earned by good deeds but received only as a free gift of God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ as redeemer from sin. His theology challenged the authority of the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church by teaching that the Bible is the only source of divinely revealed knowledge[2] and opposed sacerdotalism by considering all baptized Christians to be a holy priesthood.[3] Those who identify with Luther's teachings are called Lutherans.
His translation of the Bible into the vernacular (instead of Latin) made it more accessible, which had a tremendous impact on the church and on German culture. It fostered the development of a standard version of the German language, added several principles to the art of translation,[4] and influenced the writing of an English translation, the King James Bible.[5] His hymns influenced the development of singing in churches.[6] His marriage to Katharina von Bora set a model for the practice of clerical marriage, allowing Protestant priests to marry.[7]
In his later years, in deteriorating health, Luther became increasingly Anti-Semitic, writing that Jewish homes should be destroyed, their synagogues burned, money confiscated and liberty curtailed. These statements have contributed to his controversial status.[8]

Luther did not like Jews and vice versa. The Wiki does not quite say that it was because his health was failing or even that he was going mad but it leans that way; subtle misdirection rather than blatant propaganda.
The Ninety-Five Theses ex Wiki
QUOTE
The Ninety-Five Theses on the Power and Efficacy of Indulgences (Latin: Disputatio pro declaratione virtutis indulgentiarum), commonly known as The Ninety-Five Theses, was written by Martin Luther in 1517 and is widely regarded as the initial catalyst for the Protestant Reformation. The disputation protests against clerical abuses, especially the sale of indulgences.
UNQUOTE
The Wiki does not tell us what the 95 were; an odd omission. He nailed them to the cathedral door in Wittenburg. The cathedral is still there, like the door. The nails and theses are gone.
