At the Well
A village well with figures, painted in Krachkovskyi's academic-realist manner two years after he was made an academician. Wikimedia Commons files it under paintings of Ukraine by the artist.
Before the Thunderstorm. At the End of Summer
A large late-summer landscape of 1888 with a storm building over open country, and one of Krachkovskyi's most ambitious canvases by scale. Held by the Odesa Art Museum.
Ukrainian Evening
Krachkovskyi's best-known Ukrainian subject and one of his most widely reproduced pictures, showing a village at dusk under a warm, dying light. It belongs to the late-nineteenth-century vogue for the 'Ukrainian evening' motif popularised by Kuindzhi.
The Melon Field (Bakhcha)
A southern melon and watermelon plantation under a high summer sun, one of the two works most often cited as Krachkovskyi's Ukrainian subjects. The picture is dated by Wikimedia Commons only to the 1890s or 1900s.
