And it's Van der Weyden, who claimed eight votes to Waterhouse's three. Van der Weyden has officially made it to the Big Time, and will take on M.C. Escher in a March Madness Fourth Round match. Waterhouse is still with us -- he'll take on the winner of Vigee-LeBrun/Vlaminck in the Left Brackets sometime in April.
