The two portraits reflect the shock that swept through Europe following Brexit on June 24, but also the dismay of the entrepreneur and Minister of Economic Affairs, Johann Schneider-Ammann. Ironically, one might think that Schneider-Ammann sees the "storm" coming, triggered by Brexit, breaking over him as he gazes at a painting titled "Freischwimmer" (Free Swimmer).
