Biography
=Early life=
Joseph Lieutaud was born on 21 June 1703 at 31 Rue Cardinale in Aix-en-Provence.[http://ruesdaix.ag13.pagesperso-orange.fr/html/LIEUTAUD.html Aix-en-Provence Historical Society][http://web2.bium.univ-paris5.fr/livanc/?cote=07410xM08&p=144&do=page Encyclopédie méthodique, médecine, par une société de médecins.] His father was Jean-Baptiste Lieutaud, a lawyer, and his mother, Louise (de) Garibel. He started studying botany, following in the wake of his uncle, Pierre Joseph Garidel, and went on to be called upon as a doctor in the Hotel-Dieu in Aix-en-Provence. He graduated from the University of Aix-en-Provence in 1725.
He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1739.{{cite web|url=https://collections.royalsociety.org/DServe.exe?dsqIni=Dserve.ini&dsqApp=Archive&dsqCmd=Show.tcl&dsqDb=Persons&dsqPos=0&dsqSearch=%28%28text%29%3D%27lieutaud%27%29|title=Fellow details|publisher=Royal Society|accessdate=24 January 2017|archive-date=4 July 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200704033502/https://collections.royalsociety.org/DServe.exe?dsqIni=Dserve.ini&dsqApp=Archive&dsqCmd=Show.tcl&dsqDb=Persons&dsqPos=0&dsqSearch=%28%28text%29%3D%27lieutaud%27%29|url-status=dead}}
=Career=
By 1750, he became a doctor in the royal infirmary, then a pediatrician to the Louis XV court, and eventually the personal physician of King Louis XVI.
He published an essay on human anatomy. His Précis de médecine pratique, published in four instalments (between 1760 and 1776), shows how forward-thinking medical sciences were at that time.
=Death=
He died on 6 December 1780 in Versailles.
