Happy birthday Ned Warren!

Art collector Ned Warren - pictured here on the left with his partner John Marshall - was born on this day 159 years ago. Ned and John live at Lewes House in England, where Ned tried to create a homosocial, ancient Greek-inspired community with a group of like-minded young men. Ned is most famous as the collector of the Warren Cup, a 1st-century Roman cup decorated with images of male-male sex.

The Warren Cup (15BC - AD15)

‘A silver stemmed drinking-cup originally with two vertical handles (now lost) comprising decorated outer casing (now split in one place) enclosing, in order to facilitate both drinking and cleaning, the drinking vessel. The handles and foot were cast separately. The decorative scenes on the outer casing were raised by hammering and elaborated with chased and engraved details, some enhanced by gilding (now lost). The decoration consists of two scenes of male homosexual love-making, set in interiors elaborated with textile hangings. On the obverse the older, active lover (erastes) is bearded and wears a wreath, while the younger, passive partner (eromenos) is a beardless youth. On the reverse the erastes is a beardless youth, crowned with a wreath, and the eromenos is a boy. The boy at the door with short hair, who is observing the scene, is a probably a slave.’
