"An Extensive Landscape with a Barge on a Canal and Yoked Horses on a Towpath, a Church and Village Beyond" is a 19th-century painting by the English landscape artist Frederick Waters Watts (1800–1870). Watts, who was a contemporary and sometimes confused with the more famous George Frederic Watts, was known for his serene and detailed landscapes that often depicted the English countryside. This particular work is characteristic of his style, which was influenced by the Dutch landscape tradition and the work of John Constable, with whom he is believed to have studied.

The painting presents a tranquil rural scene, where the calm waters of a canal reflect the soft light of the sky. A barge, central to the composition, is gently guided by the towpath where yoked horses labor. The presence of the horses and the barge highlights the importance of canals as a means of transportation and commerce during the period. In the distance, a church spire rises above a cluster of village buildings, suggesting the proximity of human settlement and the intertwining of natural and constructed landscapes.

Watts's attention to detail, from the lush foliage on the banks to the subtle variations in the sky, demonstrates his commitment to capturing the essence of the English countryside. The painting's composition, with its use of perspective and the placement of the horizon, draws the viewer's eye into the depth of the scene, creating a sense of peaceful expansiveness.

"An Extensive Landscape with a Barge on a Canal and Yoked Horses on a Towpath, a Church and Village Beyond" is a fine example of Watts's work and contributes to the understanding of landscape painting in the Victorian era. It reflects the artist's ability to convey the beauty of the rural environment while also documenting the everyday life of the time. The painting is held in private collections or public institutions, and it continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance.
