François Louis Joseph Watteau, known (like his father) as the Watteau of Lille (Lille, August 18, 1758 - Lille, December 1, 1823) was a French painter, active in his birthplace. He was the son of the painter Louis Joseph Watteau (1731-1798) and grandson of Noël Joseph Watteau (1689-1756) - Noël was the brother of Jean-Antoine Watteau, the painter of fêtes galantes. From 1808 to his death he was deputy curator of the Palais des Beaux-Arts de Lille, which his father had helped to found.
