You should enjoy Ilya Repin's great works, notably 'Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks'. One of the funniest works of art ever created.
Russian sources place Denisov's birth in Yekaterinburg in the east foothills of the Urals on 06 February 1864. He died in Viipuri (then Finland) in 1926, presumably a refugee from the USSR.
Poor Lucas, always losing his tires.

Those may be the first Russian paintings I've ever seen, and very fine too. Thank you.
