Statue of Count Schulenburg in front of the Fortress, Corfu, Greece
A white marble statue of Schulenburg by Venetian sculptor Antonio Corradini is among the artworks which decorate Spianada, the large, famous square of Corfu. It resembles the German general Mathias von Schulenburg (1661-1747) who served on the island as a commander at the end of the 17th century and the beginning of the 18th century. He was the chief of the army of the Corfiots during the siege by the Turks, in 1716, when soldiers stood up against invaders.
