Masterpieces of Western Art
Columbia University Art Humanities Series

Masterpieces of Western Art at Columbia University is part of the Art Humanities Series. Masterpieces of Western Art has been a degree requirement for all College students and an integral part of the Core Curriculum since 1947. It is not a historical survey, but an analytical study of a limited number of monuments and artists, and teaches students how to look at, think about, and engage in critical discussion of the visual arts.

@Monkeykingg64 he signed it on the collar of the figure on the bottom right (Euclid I believe) who's bending over the slate. Skip to 5:58 in the video and it says he abbreviated his signature on the collar.
