If you could create artistic works like the Mona Lisa(Gioconda) in better quality, should your work be considered superior to the original (ignoring its historical value)?

I feel like I’ve been thinking about this too much in the last few days.

If you could recreate every drawing in history digitally or in better quality overall, wouldn’t your work be considered superior?

Why the hell isn’t there a nonprofit project that does this already?

How so?

I mean better drawing details should be considered better to anyone, the same applies to colors.

Or do you you disagree with that?

Would you look at some Picasso shit and says it has better details if it looks more realistic? It's not about true to life details.
