It has been suggested that the commander portrayed is Count Johann Matthias von der Schulenburg (1661-1747), appointed Field Marshal and Commander in Chief of the Forces of the Venetian Republic in 1715. His defense of Corfu against the Turks in 1715-1716 made him a hero to the Venetians, who erected a statue in his honor and granted him a life pension.
