Rudolf von Alt described his impressions of his first journey to Italy, which he undertook together with his father, as follows: "... In the year 1833 I saw the Italian cities of Verona, Vicenza, Padua and Venice for the first time - I am unable to describe the impression they made on me, especially the latter - I felt as though I had to soak up all its romance." Alt succeeds in conveying the romantic atmosphere he experienced in this painting, which depicts the view along the façade of the Doge's Palace towards Santa Maria della Salute.

LGT Beacon: Torn between two paths for the global economy
Markets seem torn between two future paths. On the one hand, we have lingering concerns of an overheating economy on the back of an ongoing demand rebound and supply squeezes – an inflationary confluence that keeps central banks rushing toward a restrictive policy regime. On the other hand, rising interest rates fuel fears of a sapping economy, with many investors now expecting an imminent recession. We take a balanced path through this challenging environment.
