Nicolaas Jozef Hubertus (Hubert or Huub) Levigne (Meerssen, September 30, 1905 – Sittard, December 29, 1989) was a Dutch graphic artist, stained glass artist and professor.
He grew up in Maastricht and took drawing and painting lessons from Henri Jonas at the Maastricht Stadsteekeninstituut. He then left for Amsterdam to study at the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten (1928-1932), where he was taught by Jan Aarts (graphics) and Rik Roland Holst (monumental art).
Levigne was a member of the Bende van De Suisse, a group of painters, architects, poets, writers and other culture lovers who spent many evenings in the 1920s (just like the members of the Limburg Art Circle) at the Café Suisse on the Vrijthof in Maastricht. He also joined the Nederlandsche Vereeniging voor Ambachts- en Nijverheidskunst.
After completing his education in Amsterdam in 1933 and winning the silver medal of the Prix de Rome, he returned to Maastricht. There, in addition to his own free work, he also carried out commissions for stamps, occasional graphics, ex libris and ecclesiastical art. Levigne worked with copper engravings, etchings and woodcuts.
