QUESTION 351 : Sound, OK, Horn!

Right ho!
End of our first theme week!
Back to regular questions till Monday! :)
Btw, You can still go for the theme ( questions 350 a to f)


This one deals with a slightly different issue!

We see in this picture, a chappy who has a lot to do with a mango! :D (X)
When X came to India, he exchanged gifts with an Indian king. The gift he received from India was an animal.
He sent the animal back to Portugal to King Manuel I. Manuel sent it to the Pope. Sadly, it perished in a shipwreck off the coast of Italy.

Somebody described this never-seen-before animal to a certain German artist (Y). (Y) used the description given to him and produced one of his most famous works (Z, no picture here :P ) without even having seen the animal!

(X)

(Y)

Id X, Y and Z

The THEME SCHEME: How it works (Just in case it isn't clear, yet)

In case you still haven't understood, let me clarify before I get to the actual question.
This is like an actual quiz.
In this theme week, we'll have 6 questions. Each question will give you a basic 5 points. These questions carry no negatives. Don't worry. Attempt them without fear ;)
In addition, we have the THEME SCHEME.
Question 350 has an answer. 351 will, quite obviously, have an answer. After 2 days, we will reveal these two answers.
At this point, you can go for the theme(connect) of the week. You can go for it even now, but it would be risky.
After 2 answers, a correct guess at the theme gives you + 30! But a wrong on gives you a -5! :)
You are free to go for the theme as many times(But only once per question), but keep the negatives in mind.
After questions 3 and 4, a correct guess gives you +20, wrong guess = -5
After 6 questions, +10, -5.
Hope it's clear.

Question 350.a: Go Green. Part 1
