No but getting an obvious replication is just a little weird. There is plenty of art of identical and higher quality than the famous pieces within affordable prices.

You seriously think so? Or is that for the uncanny valley where it's obviously just a replica, but not just a poster?
A lot of art, for many, is that others see the same thing through different eyes. Looking at the Mona Lisa or a Rembrandt, means that I'm experiencing what millions have but uniquely. Shared experiences create bonds, even across time and space. It's also perhaps a bit humbling in a way another similarly good painting from now wouldn't be because of the temporal distance it comes from.
