this painting is inspired by the famous "etching" the sleep of reason generates monsters, made by Francisco Goya in 1797. According to Goya, fantasy is the basis of all creations. If this is left to delude in an uncontrolled way, without the support of reason, it will lead to monsters and to many non-existent elements; if, on the other hand, reason is awake and combines with fantasy, in an intimate union between rule and genius, an instrument with an inexhaustible power is created. The monsters, in fact, symbolize precisely those mental forms and processes that, relegated to the abysses of the subconscious, after the sleep of reason have finally been able to reveal themselves: in this way man is not oppressed by external forces, but is in conflict with himself, troubled by these horrible visions arising from his soul. Questo dipinto è inspirato alla celebre " acquaforte" il sonno della ragione genera mostri, fatta da Francisco Goya nel 1797.Secondo Goya, la fantasia è alla base di tutte le creazioni. Se questa è lasciata delirare in maniera incontrollata, senza il supporto della ragione, condurrà ai mostri e a tanti elementi inesistenti; se, invece, la ragione è sveglia e si unisce alla fantasia, in un intimo connubio tra regola e genio, si dà vita a uno strumento dalla potenza inesauribile. I mostri, infatti, simboleggiano proprio quelle forme e quei processi mentali che, relegati negli abissi del subconscio, dopo il sonno della ragione hanno potuto finalmente palesarsi: l'uomo, in questo modo, non è oppresso da forze esterne, bensì è in conflitto con sé stesso, travagliato da queste orribili visioni scaturite dalla sua anima.
