"An Extensive Wooded River Landscape with Classical Ruins" is a notable work by the influential Welsh landscape painter Richard Wilson (1714–1782). Created in the 18th century, this oil on canvas exemplifies Wilson's pioneering role in the development of British landscape painting, marking a departure from the more decorative and topographical approaches of his predecessors towards a grander, classical style influenced by his experiences in Italy.

The painting depicts a serene and idyllic scene, where the natural beauty of a wooded river landscape is harmoniously intertwined with the crumbling grandeur of classical architecture. Wilson's composition is carefully constructed, using the ruins to frame the natural elements and guide the viewer's eye through the scene. The use of light and shadow, as well as atmospheric perspective, imbues the work with a sense of depth and realism that was innovative for its time.

As one of the founding members of the Royal Academy in 1768, Wilson's work had a significant impact on the perception and appreciation of landscape as a worthy subject for serious art in Britain. "An Extensive Wooded River Landscape with Classical Ruins" not only reflects Wilson's technical skill and artistic vision but also serves as a testament to his influence on subsequent generations of landscape artists, including the likes of John Constable and J.M.W. Turner.

This painting is a quintessential example of Wilson's mature style, which often featured classical themes and was inspired by his admiration for the works of Italian masters such as Claude Lorrain and Nicolas Poussin. Through his landscapes, Wilson sought to elevate the genre to the level of historical painting, which was then considered the highest form of art. "An Extensive Wooded River Landscape with Classical Ruins" remains a significant piece within Wilson's oeuvre and continues to be celebrated for its contribution to the development of British landscape painting.
