Prints are rarely the same size as the paintings - most are smaller, but some (notably some prints of the Mona Lisa) are bigger than the original.
In watercolors (and possibly pastels) a print is about as good as the original. For an oil or acrylic painting, a print is nothing like it. It loses depth - both physical and tonal - and simply doesn't have the same appeal. IMO of course.
