Danese Milano Agnellino silkscreen printing

Danese Milano Agnellino is a silkscreen print designed by Enzo Mari, part of the renowned Nature series, produced by Danese Milano. Executed using a three-color silkscreen technique on "Cromatic Extra blanc" Dropjet paper at 200 g/m², this work on paper stands out for its printing quality and chromatic depth, measuring 700 × 500 mm. The animal subjects of the Nature series originate from the iconographic research that Mari developed in the early 1960s while defining the characters for the educational project Gioco delle Favole: each figure was the result of a lengthy process of simplification, aimed at creating clear and recognizable shapes capable of forming a true alphabet of visual symbols.

In Agnellino, Mari reduces the lamb to its essential silhouette, transforming a natural subject into a universal graphic sign. The minimal composition and delicate use of color reflect the designer's enduring pursuit of clarity and symbolic meaning, producing an image that is playful yet refined — one that discreetly enhances both educational settings and domestic spaces. Ideal for the living room or the bedroom, Agnellino stands as a decorative element of significant cultural and collectible value. A signed edition is also available upon request, for an additional fee.
