Above the Graveyard was also translated Above The Eternal Tranquility. In this Isaac Levitan painting, the poetic illusion of the overcast weather was portrayed particularly powerful. The painting was finished in Wuduomuli lake in Tver Province. The hillside’s green white birch was bent by the gust wind. The white birch forest set off an old church built by the log. A quiet river led to the distance. The gentle rain contracted the grassland with a dark color, the sky was like the vast sea. A group of dark, heavy clouds hung low over the earth, such as oblique rain covering the whole space. Before Levitan, there was no a painter who was able to portray the boundless vision when raining in a desolate and majestic momentum. It was so quiet and solemn that made people feel grand and solemn.

With a sincere heart, Levitan expressed the admiration and infinite love for the nature in landscapes. Without this kind of emotion, he could not see the changing clouds in the sky and he also could not draw the flowing groundwater. Neither had he seen the trees swaying in the wind and the log cabin lonely struggling with the wind and rain. Levitan used higher artistic standards to discipline himself. He mainly made a change about the sky and the earth which was fine and delicate. The processing of time, space and color also proved the rich art knowledge and deep understanding of the nature of Levitan. The depiction for the sky was enough to arouse people’s admiration. The turning clouds and the subtle changes of the nature were depicted incisively by the artist. This painting showed the natural scenery after the rain: the earth had been washed by the stormy weather, the wind was still blowing, and the trees were still shaking. The yellow water was surging. This realism painting also hided the deep “artistic conception”: the person’s life and death were used as a metaphor for the vegetation, small and null. The utmost was to get a cross. Only with the great nature, she could have the magical and magnificent eternal power, such as the torrential rain flood. Although the endless flow increased the melancholy mood, his writing style was magnificent.
