Abstrakt: The article explores the profound influence of Walter Pater's interpretation of Leonardo da Vinci on Oscar Wilde's work, particularly in his play Salome. Wilde regarded Pater's Studies in the History of the Renaissance as a pivotal text, and this influence is evident in Salome, which is seen as a symbolist play where Wilde embodies Pater's interpretations of Leonardo's work.
