Anne L. Williams is a specialist in late medieval and early Renaissance art. Before joining HKU, she taught at William and Mary and the University of Richmond. She has published several works that investigate the intersection of satire, subversion, and the sacred in altarpieces, painted panels, and manuscripts, including her first book, Satire, Veneration, and St. Joseph in Art, c. 1300-1550. In other publications, she addresses the art of popular devotion through the lenses of marginality, masculinity, and sanctity. Her work has been supported by the Renaissance Society of America, the International Center of Medieval Art, and the German-American Fulbright Commission, among other institutions. She is currently writing her second book on humor, irony, and the senses in Franciscan art and devotion.
