Claudio et Isabelle

Claudio and Isabella is an 1850 Pre-Raphaelite oil painting by the English artist William Holman Hunt. It is based on a scene from William Shakespeare's Measure for Measure. In this scene, Isabella is made to choose between sacrificing her brother's life or sacrificing her virginity to Angelo. Hunt's image attempts to depict the characters' tangible emotions in the moment that this choice must be made. Hunt summarized the moral as: ‘Thou shall not do evil that good may come.’
