Question

One of these people painted two small black goats in front of a larger white one in a scene set at New Years and depicted a family of three monkeys in Gibbons at Play. In a 1689 artwork, one of these people is shown from above on a slightly larger scale than everyone else in a crowd of people all wearing blue during a “Southern Tour.” A painter who was also one of these people painted an “auspicious” group of 21 cranes above a gate; that 11th-to-12th century one of these people was a major painter of the bird-and-flower tradition. One of these people wears yellow robes and a black and red hat in a characteristic style of seated, flattened-perspective portrait by (-5[1])Giuseppe Castiglione (“joo-ZEP-pay kah-steel-YO-nay”), who served under them. Examples of these people stand in the center of a river barges in a typical scene painted on silk handscrolls. For 10 points, name this type of ruler, one of whom commissioned the Terracotta Army.
