"Panorama Torunia Obleżonego Przez Wojska Polskie" (Panorama of Toruń Besieged by Polish Troops) is a historic engraving by Willem Hondius, often mistakenly attributed to Willem Swidde due to similarities in their names and the fact that both were engravers of the same era. Created in 1646, this detailed work of art depicts the siege of the Polish city of Toruń during the Second Northern War, also known as The Deluge, which took place from 1655 to 1660. The engraving is notable for its intricate portrayal of the city's fortifications and the military activities surrounding the siege.

The artwork serves as a valuable historical document, offering insights into the military technology and strategies of the 17th century, as well as the urban landscape of Toruń at the time. It captures a moment of great significance in Polish history, when the city, known for its strong defensive walls, was a focal point of conflict between the Polish forces and the invading Swedish army.

Willem Hondius, a Dutch-Polish engraver, cartographer, and publisher, was known for his skillful engravings and detailed cityscapes. His work on the Panorama of Toruń is considered one of his important contributions to the visual documentation of Polish history. The engraving not only showcases Hondius's artistic talent but also reflects the complex socio-political context of the era, making it a subject of interest for both art historians and scholars of European history.

Today, "Panorama Torunia Obleżonego Przez Wojska Polskie" is appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and its role in preserving a visual record of a pivotal event in the history of Toruń and Poland. It remains an exemplary piece of 17th-century engraving and an important artifact for those studying the period's art and military history.
