Saudade, an oil on canvas painting completed in 1899 by
José Ferraz de Almeida Júnior. The Portuguese word
saudade refers to a deep emotional state of
nostalgic or profound
melancholic longing for a beloved, and often connotes a repressed knowledge that the object of longing might never return. Once described as "the love that remains" after someone is gone, saudade now refers to a sense that someone or something that should be present is missing.Painting:
