I need help identifying the artist who created this altarpiece in St. Martin's Cathedral.

I'm putting together a portfolio for a school project and wanted to use this piece of art to show the changing view of many Christians. I need to cite it but can not find the artist any help would be appreciated.

(not sure how to post a picture on reddit sorry for the link)

So far I know its location (St. Martin's Cathedral) and the church's location (Achter de Dom 1, 3512 JN Utrecht, Netherlands). I need help finding the artist and date of composition. Thanks again!

Well, I can help a little, here. It's the St. Anna ( Anna te Drieën) altarpiece of the ( bishop) Jan van Arkel Chapel. It seems to have become pretty famous after it was discovered during restoration efforts in 1919.. Here's a guide to the cathedral from a Utrecht historical organization focused on walking tours of historic churches ( the name kerkenkijken translates as "church-looking, or "Church-viewing", but the Dutch has a better ring to it than the English). The paragraph on it is the one titled "De Reformatie en Beeldenstorm", which means The Reformation and Iconoclasm. No attribution of an artist ( nor in any other Dutch sites I've scanned), but it seems to have been 14th c.
