I highly encourage you to seek out the original paintings and other artistic mediums in museums when you have a chance. It’s not about prestige, authenticity, or clout. It’s about gazing upon relics that have somehow survived the test of time and gleaming a bit of the creator’s intentions and skill. It’s a human connection that can stretch the breadth of millennia.
Also I used to fix printers so now I have undying hatred of them. I buy quite a few art books though.
Edit: One thing photos, digital image files, and other means of reproduction of most paintings never seem to get right is the texture. Remember a painting is not flat, it’s still a 3rd dimensional object. Painting techniques can layer paints giving them texture, it’s a visual quality that is hard to appreciate when not in person.
