When a work of art is reproduced in books, it never really does justice to the piece. The colour may be a little bit off, you don't get a sense of the scale, you can't see the brushstrokes. To see the original in person, especially when it's a famous work of art, is awe-inspiring!
I remember when I saw the Mona Lisa at the Louvre. I was astounded by how small she was! I didn't realize the scale. She was behind glass & I could barely get close because of all the tourists. Still I felt privileged to be so close to one of Leonardo da Vinci's paintings! Seeing a picture in a book or on a slide can never compare with the feeling of being in a gallery. It's the atmosphere & the concrete painting itself.
Hope this helps you!

A Gallery is just a posh housing for expensive works of art - the paintings, drawings, sculptures and other works where the owners and the people working there are totally focussed on looking after and maintaining the piece of art as close to how it was when it was first made ..... Galleries are merely a collecting together of artists' work that everyone can come to and see the works together - almost as if you were visiting the artist 'working at home' .... a Gallery is also a place where, because these art works are collected together the viewer can 'see' how an artist has developed and moved forward (or backward) in their work over a period of time (or perhaps even their lifetime) ..... it is also an opportunity to be able to get up to and look closely at the work itself, to see how the artist has used and manipulated their materials or paints to produce their artwork ... sit and look and study an original piece of work for a while and you start to get a 'feel' for how the artist was thinking, how they were feeling, how they applied something, how they manipulated something, why they did what they did in the way they did it - you start 'feeling' like the artist - you start 'to walk in the artist's shoes' .... photographs, photocopies other people's explanations - none of these can give you this .....

Look at a painting in a book or reproduced somehow, for example V. van Gogh and go and look at one of his paintings and you will be able to answer your own question. There is no conparison.

art is an extension of the artist,like being in a room full of blind people,one must have the same connection to those around them in order to feel part of a whole.
