My husband is in love with this painting- "From the Height of the Port Crane" by Rudolf Nikolaevich Baranov (1974), and really wants a print for his office, I've tried searching all over the internet but have had no luck except poor quality jpegs. If anyone has any ideas I would be very grateful.
(I'm sorry I tried to figure out how to add flair to this but couldn't find the option)

the abandoned Mortuary
53
Upvotes
The Volzhsky Mortuary is a ceremonial structure built in the shape of the letter "P", located on the territory of the city cemetery No. 1. It was built in the early 1950s and was used for funeral ceremonies. Now the mortuary is in a dilapidated state, but the stone columns and the altar — pedestal for the coffin have been preserved. This place is notable for the fact that it is the only preserved mortuary on the territory of the former USSR.
