*''Established: [[1736]]''
*''Chinese'': 如意館 ''(rúyì guǎn)''
The ''Rúyì guǎn'', or Office of Wish Fulfillment, was an office within the [[Qing Dynasty]] Imperial government, which produced a variety of paintings, decorations, and other art/craft objects for the Imperial Palaces. Many of the most famous paintings and wall-painting schemes of the era of the [[Qianlong Emperor]] were produced by this workshop.
Established in [[1736]], it employed both European [[Jesuit]] and Chinese artists, who worked in a variety of media. While Jesuit artists worked in a number of offices within the Court, the ''Rúyì guǎn'' was the only office in which they worked under the direct supervision of the Emperor.
