EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative marble statue commemorates Johann Matthias von der Schulenburg (1661-1747), the illustrious Marshal defender of the city of Corfu during the Turkish invasion of 1716. The statue, situated in Corfu, Ionian Islands, Greece, stands as a testament to the bravery and resilience of this 17th-century aristocrat. During the siege of 1716, the Ottoman Empire, under the command of Turkish admiral Oruç Reis, laid siege to the fortified city of Corfu. The city, a vital outpost of the Venetian Republic, was under constant threat from the Ottoman forces. In response, the Venetian authorities called upon the services of Johann Matthias von der Schulenburg, a seasoned military commander, to lead the defense of Corfu. Von der Schulenburg, a count in the Holy Roman Empire, rose to the challenge and led the city's defenders with great distinction. He devised ingenious defensive strategies, repelling numerous Ottoman assaults. The siege lasted for over three months, and when the Ottoman forces finally retreated, Corfu had been successfully defended. In recognition of his heroic actions, the people of Corfu erected this marble statue in his honor. The inscription on the base of the statue reads, "To the memory of the illustrious Count Johann Matthias von der Schulenburg, Marshal of Corfu, who defended the city during the Turkish invasion in the year 1716." The statue, a modern addition to the city's rich historical landscape, stands as a reminder of the past and the indomitable spirit of those who defended it. Von der Schulenburg's legacy lives on, immortalized in this commemorative sculpture, as a symbol of courage, resilience, and the enduring spirit of the people of Corfu.
