Red Sunset on the Dnipro or Red Sunset on the Dnieper, originally titled Red Sunset, is an oil on canvas painting by Arkhip Kuindzhi, from 1905 to 1908. It depicts a sunset in the sky above the Dnieper river. Sunset is typical of Kuindzhi's style, as he was known for his large landscapes, and can be described as a unique work of Russian luminism—a style of art not widely embraced in Imperial Russia. Kuindzhi made two sketches preceding his painting of Sunset.
