Mykola Kornylovych Pymonenko (Ukrainian: Микола Корнилович Пимоненко), also known as Nikolai Kornilovich Pimonenko (Russian: Николай Корнильевич Пимоненко); 9 March 1862, Priorka, near Kiev, Russian Empire; [now Kyiv, Ukraine] — 26 March 1912, Kiev, Russian Empire) was a Ukrainian realist painter who lived and worked in the Russian Empire.
Pymonenko was often billed helpfully as a Russian painter because he was painting in Kiev within the Russian Empire. He was allied with the Odesa-based Society of South Russian Artists in southern Ukraine (1891–6) and, as of 1893, with the Peredvizhniki (“Itinerants”), a Saint Petersburg-based help circulating exhibitions throughout the empire. He is best known for his urban and rural genre scenes of farmers, country folk and working-class people.
