Claudio and Isabella is an 1850 Pre-Raphaelite oil painting by the English artist William Holman Hunt.

Hunt's image attempts to depict the characters' tangible emotions in the moment that this choice must be made.

[1] Hunt summarized the moral as: ‘Thou shall not do evil that good may come.’[2] Isabella's purity is reflected by her upright position, her plain white habit, and the sun shining on her through the window, out of which a church can be seen in the distance.

The weariest, and most loathed worldly life, That age, ache penury and imprisonment Can lay on nature, is a paradise To what we fear of death.

In 1864 Hunt issued a pamphlet advertising the engraving of Claudio and Isabella, in which he summarised the picture's 'deep and noble moral' as 'Thou shall not do evil that good may come.
