Summary:Now art aficionados in three countries have a less extreme way of getting into Goya's head at the exhibit "Goya -- Truth and Fantasy," which opened Nov. 18 at the Prado Museum before traveling to London's Royal Academy of Arts and The Art Institute of Chicago next year. Among the featured items are seven coaster-size copper discs that Goya, born in 1746 in the village of Fuendetodos, gave to his son, Javier, as a wedding gift in 1805. Each disc has an oil portrait of a member of the bride's family, plus one of Javier. The exhibit also will include most of the 12 cabinet pictures that Goya completed in 1794, after an illness left him deaf, disillusioned and disinclined to work solely on the portraits, tapestry cartoons and other decorative pieces commissioned by the court of Charles IV.
