The first information about the authorship of The Last Judgment obtained by Gdańsk in 1473 can be found in the Note to the Gdańsk Chronicle from the second half of the 16th century. The writer confirms that the triptych is signed with the name "Jakub" and dated 1467. Since the second half of the 17th century, it has been attributed to Van Eyck, and his names have been mentioned in various ways, including the name "Jacob". After many other attempts to identify the artist, it was only in 1943 that H. G. Hotho, publishing a history of German and Dutch painting, based on a thorough analysis of the Court, included in the second volume of his work the name of the Flemish painter Jan Memling as the author of the triptych. There is no archival record about the executor of the Last Judgment, although the case of his robbery in 1473 by Paul Beneke stirred many minds. In order to determine the author of The Judgment, it is necessary to use a stylistic analysis of the most important and certain works of Memling and to establish the relationship between his works and the Gdańsk triptych.
