At the start of his artistic career, William Holman Hunt's art was not well received, and had been greatly criticized in the art world press for the questionable awkwardness of his subject along with what the critics felt was ugliness. Hunt did reached some early mention for his accurate portrayals of current pastoral and urban life, as can be seen in the painting titled The Hireling Shepherd and also The Awakening Conscience. Even so, it had been in his devout religious art works that earned him some recognition. His most easily recognizable painting, Light of the World, was exhibited in Great Britain as well as the United States. Hunt visited to the Holy Land in order to discover correct geographical material for additional religious paintings where created painting The Scapegoat, The Finding of the Savior in the Temple as well as the dramatic art work The Shadow of Death. He also produced several landscapes of the area. In the tradition of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, William Holman Hunt produced numerous paintings portraying themes taken from poetry, as in Isabella and the Pot of Basil and also The Lady of Shalott.

Each these art works had been renowned for their eminent care to detail, their strong vivid color along with their complicated symbolism. Hunt had been strongly influenced by the publications of art critic and writer John Ruskin as well as Thomas Carlyle, who reported that the world itself ought to be interpreted as a scheme of visual signals. Hunt felt it was the obligation of the painter to expose the symmetry among symbols and reality. Of the members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, Holman Hunt stayed most accurate to their ideals during his life and career as an artist. later in life, he finally had to abandon painting due to weakening vision which did not allow him to achieve the degree of quality which he desired. His final outstanding work, The Lady of Shalott, was finished with the assistance of an helper, artist and painter Edward Robert Hughes.

William Holman Hunt had been marriedtwo times. Following a unsuccessful engagement to his sitter Annie Miller, he wed Fanny Waugh, who later posed for the design of Isabella. Fanny passed away in childbearing in Italy and Holman Huntcarved her tomb up at Fiesole, later bringing it to the English Cemetery to rest alongside the grave of Elizabeth Barrett Browning. His 2d wife, Edith, had been Fanny's sister. During this period it was not lawful in Britain to wed one's deceased wife's sister, therefore Hunt was pressured to trip overseas to marry her. The wedding resulted in a grave falling out with additional family members, and notably his previous Pre-Raphaelite fellow Thomas Woolner, who had wed Fanny and Edith's sister Alice.

In 1905 he was awarded the Order of Merit.
