Abstract
This study compiled 39 representative world-famous paintings, which depict the images of nurses in different historical periods. According to the sorting results, the paintings were created between 1662 and 1962. The evolution of nursing is delved into by examining depictions of nurses in historical artworks. Through this exploration, we gain insight into the development and professional ethos of nursing across different historical periods. The focus is on delineating various professional representations of nurses in these celebrated paintings and assessing their professionalism. The essence of the nursing profession is encapsulated as fraternity, sacrifice, dedication, and inheritance. This narrative interprets the significance of nursing portrayed in world-renowned paintings.
期刊介绍：
Holistic Nursing Practice (HNP), The Science of Health and Healing, is a peer-reviewed bimonthly journal that explores holistic models of nursing practice. Content emphasizes complementary traditional and holistic nursing and healthcare practices. Articles include theory-based interventions and their outcomes, including: innovations in holistic nursing practice; research related to holistic nursing practice, health care, and policy; and values and ethical-legal issues related to holistic nursing practices. The holistic approach is a worldview that emphasizes the potential for health and healing in human systems rather than on disease process and deficit.
