Art Contest: Saudade or Nostalgia

Saudade is a Portuguese/Spanish word that can be described as "the longing for something that no longer exists." Could be a time, a place, a person, a lover, etc. You could say "nostalgia" but that doesn't quite have the same weight as saudade.

"Saudade is a deep emotional state of nostalgic or profound melancholic longing for an absent something or someone that one cares for and/or loves. Moreover, it often carries a repressed knowledge that the object of longing might never return."

For inspiration:


Saudade (1899), by Almeida Júnior

&



Saudades de Nápoles (Missing Naples), 1895 by Bertha Worms
