LI'EVENS, Liv'ens, or Ly'vyns (John), a celebrated 
painter, was born at Leyden in 1617. He difeovered an 
early inclination for the arts, and was the difciple firft of 
Joris van Schooten,and afterwards of Peter Laftman. He 
excelled principally in painting portraits ; but he alfo exe¬ 
cuted feveral hiftorical fubjeCts with great fuccefs. He 
came over to England, where he refuted three years, and 
painted the portraits of Charles I. the queen, the prince 
of Wales, and feveral of the nobility ; after which he re¬ 
turned to Antwerp, where he met with full employment 
for his pencil. We have feveral etchings by this mailer, 
which are performed in a (light but mafterly manner. 
The chiaro-fcuro is very ikilfully managed in them, fo as 
to produce a moil powerful effect. His ilyle of etching 
bears fome refemblance to that of Rembrandt; but it is 
coarfer in general, and lefs iinifhed.

He was profeflor of anatomy in his native city; and had 
made himfelf known by feveral publications, when, in 
1749, he was called to Veriailles, to occupy the poll of phy- 
fician to the royal infirmary. He was admitted into the 
Academy of Sciences in 1753 ; and in 1755 was nomi¬ 
nated phylician to the royal family. I11 1775 he obtained 
the place of firft phylician to the king, Louis XVI. He 
died at Verfailles in 1780. Lieutaud was a man of induf- 
try and obfervation, much praflifed in diffeftions, as w'ell 
as in the treatment of difeafes. He began in 1735 to com¬ 
municate papers to the Academy of Sciences, of which 
feveral relative to anatomy and phyfiology are printed in 
their memoirs. He alfo publiilied, 1. Eifais Anatomiques, 
firft printed in 1743, 8vo. and reprinted in 1766 and 1773 
with enlargements; a valuable work, founded on his own 
obfervation. 3. Elementa Phyfiologia;, 1749., 8vo - drawn 
up for the ufe of his clafs at Aix. 3. Precis de la Mede- 
cine Pratique, 1759, feveral times reprinted, and tranf- 
lafed by himfelf into Latin with the title of Synopfis uni- 
verjie Praxeos Medica, 2 vols. 4to. 1765. The iecond vo¬ 
lume of this edition appeared feparately in French, under 
the title ot Precis de la Matiere Medicate, 1766. Thefe vo¬ 
lumes afford a complete view of French practice as it then 
exifted. 4. Hiftoria Anatomico-medica, 2 vols. 4to. 1767

LIEU'TAUD (James), a French mathematician, who 
flourifhed in the former part of the eighteenth century, 
was the fon of a gunfmith at Arles, and died at Paris in

aftronomy ; and, from the proficiency which he made in 
it, recommended himfelf to a feat in the French Academy 
of Sciences. He publiilied twenty-feven volumes of the 
Connoiflance des Temps, from the year 1703 1017393, 
but, for fome reafon not communicated to the public, had 
no eulogium beiiowed upon him by Fontenelle. Nouv*
