Painstaking work brought him success. His paintings were exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, where he was a classmate of Mary Cassatt and Thomas Eakins.

During the war he served in the army. He made sketches of battle scenes, this is a kind of record of the war for history.
Knight founded the Sketch Club in Philadelphia, where he works (sketches of scenes from the Civil War, mythology, and scenes from operas). In 1871, Knight married Rebecca Morris of Webster. After the wedding, he directs his interests to work as a portrait artist in order to earn enough money to return to France. In 1872, he returned to France again, where Knight focused his attention on images of rural residents during their everyday work (working in the fields, washing on the river bank, going for water, etc.), as well as during their happy moments in life . By the mid-1890s, Knight had moved to a house in Rolleyboys, about forty miles west of Paris. The house is framed by beautiful flower beds and a garden terrace. Here he began to paint paintings, which are now especially popular and valued by modern fine art collectors. His paintings show magnificent flower beds, young women's faces, and all the multifaceted beauty of natural flora.
