Hannah Joy Friedman is an art historian specializing in the visual culture of the Iberian world in the period 1400-1700. She received an MA from Williams College and a PhD from the Johns Hopkins University, both in art history. She has taught at several institutions including Oberlin College and the University of Colorado at Boulder, and has held fellowships at the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts at the National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C., and Columbia University. Her work thus far has focused on art in a cross-cultural perspective between Rome, Naples, and Spain in the seventeenth century, looking in particular at the Valencian-born and Naples-based artist Jusepe de Ribera (1591-1652).
