"An Extensive Landscape with a Clifftop Town over a Gorge" and "An Extensive Landscape with Figures Resting by Classical Ruins" are two notable works by the Dutch Golden Age painter Cornelis van Poelenburch (1594/95–1667). Van Poelenburch was renowned for his small and highly finished paintings depicting Italianate landscapes that blend classical ruins with contemporary scenes, often populated with elegantly dressed figures. These works are exemplary of his style, which was influenced by his stay in Italy, where he was particularly inspired by the countryside around Rome and the work of artists like Adam Elsheimer and Paul Bril.

"An Extensive Landscape with a Clifftop Town over a Gorge" depicts a panoramic view of a fictional clifftop town perched above a dramatic gorge, showcasing Van Poelenburch's skill in creating depth and atmospheric perspective. The painting is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and the delicate rendering of natural elements, combined with a warm, golden light that bathes the scene, typical of the artist's work.

"An Extensive Landscape with Figures Resting by Classical Ruins" similarly features a sweeping vista, but here the focus is on a group of figures resting amidst the remnants of classical architecture. This painting reflects Van Poelenburch's fascination with the ancient world and his ability to harmonize human activity with the surrounding landscape. The ruins serve as a testament to the passage of time and the enduring beauty of nature, themes that were popular among collectors of the period.

Both paintings are significant contributions to the Dutch landscape genre and exemplify the cultural exchange between the Netherlands and Italy during the 17th century. Van Poelenburch's landscapes had a considerable influence on his contemporaries and later artists, contributing to the development of the Italianate landscape tradition in Dutch painting. These works are held in private collections and have been exhibited in various art institutions, contributing to the appreciation of Van Poelenburch's artistic legacy.
