Evening in Ukraine is a painting by artist Arkhip Kuindzhi, painted in 1878 (and partially revised in 1901). The painting is part of the collection of the Russian Museum (inv. Zh-4190).[1]

History

The painting Evening in the Ukraine (under the title Evening) was first shown in 1878 at the 6th exhibition of the Association of Traveling Art Exhibitions (Peredvizhniki), along with another painting by the artist - Forest.

The painting depicts a farmhouse illuminated by the dawn of a southern sunset. The composition of the painting is reminiscent of Kuindzhi's earlier painting Ukrainian Night (1876), except that the mazanka houses are illuminated not by the moon but by the rays of the setting sun, which is emphasized by the use of shades of bright crimson. As in other paintings of this period, the main strength of this work is Kuindzhi's attempt to understand the secrets of illumination, the play of light and shadow.
