In "The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters," Francisco Goya employs regular lines and shapes in the lower half to establish a rhythmic, almost calming backdrop that contrasts with the chaotic imagery above.

However, this benign effect ultimately underscores the tension between rationality and the monstrous fears that emerge in the absence of reason, enhancing the overall impact of the piece.
