![Pintura de mulher de cabelos até o pescoço, vestida de preto (vestido e chale) lendo uma carta em frente de uma janela. e com um semblante emocionado, misturando tristeza e saudade.](https://celsobessa.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/saudade-recorte-640x365.jpg)
I just came across another article in English trying to explain what Saudade means.
A few years back, I wrote that this painting by Almeida Júnior is the image that best summarizes what saudade means. But currently, the piece of art that best transmits what I understand as saudade, is the score written by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross for the movie Mid90’s, especially the tracks The Start of Things and Further Along.
So, check a hi-resolution version of the full painting in this link, while listening to the score in the videoplayer below, and you will start to grasp it.
