__notoc__ ''The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters'' ((スペイン語:El sueño de la razón produce monstruos)) is an etching by the Spanish painter and printmaker Francisco Goya. Created between 1797 and 1799, it is the 43rd of 80 etchings making up the suite of satires ''Los Caprichos''.〔(''The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters'' ) Johnson Museum of Art, Cornell University, 2013. Retrieved 11 May 2013.〕 Goya imagines himself asleep amidst his drawing tools, his reason dulled by slumber and bedeviled by creatures that prowl in the dark. The work includes owls that may be symbols of folly and bats symbolising ignorance. The artist's nightmare reflected his view of Spanish society, which he portrayed in the ''Caprichos'' as demented, corrupt, and ripe for ridicule. The full epigraph for capricho No. 43 reads; "Fantasy abandoned by reason produces impossible monsters: united with her, she is the mother of the arts and the origin of their marvels." ==Preparatory drawings== File:Prado - Los Caprichos - preparatory drawing - No. 43 - El sueño de la razon produce monstruos.jpg|1797 File:Ydioma universal.jpg|1797 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
