- Striking illustration of the concept of saudade, which has no direct English translation. This is a high quality image (15,036 × 30,000 pixels, file size 131.82 MB) from the Google Art Project.

- Support — Très evocative. Interesting that in Brazil there's an official day of Saudade – it's coming up on Jan. 30. (Saudade seems similar to the German Sehnsucht (illus. below right), the article about which mentions Saudade.) Sca (talk) 15:21, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
