Józef Wieniawski (1786-1826)
Russian artist, sculptor and writer (b. 9/21 February 1835 in Roslavl, near [[Smolensk]]; d. 19/31 January 1896 in [[Saint Petersburg]]), born '''''Mikhail Osipovich Mikeshin''''' (Михаил Осипович Микешин).
 
A student of the Imperial Academy of Arts from 1852 to 1858, his pictures of historical scenes won him the admiration of Russian royalty, and he was a tutor to junior members of the Imperial family. His first major sculptural work was the ''Millennium of Russia at Novgorod'' (1859). From 1876 to 1878 he also edited a satirical magazine ''The Bee'' (Пчела)
 
When Mikeshin met Tchaikovsky in [[Saint Petersburg]] in September 1893, the composer agreed to write a [[March on Belorussian and Ukrainian Folk Tunes|March]] based on two folk-tunes suggested by Mikeshin, although this was not accomplished before Tchaikovsky's death the next month.
