Hubert or Huub Levigne was a son of Nicolas Joseph Levigne and Elisabeth Ramakers. He grew up in Maastricht and took drawing and painting lessons from Henri Jonas [nl] at the Stadsteekeninstituut in Maastricht. 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).[2]
Levigne was a member of the Bende van De Suisse [nl], a group of painters, architects, poets, writers and other culture enthusiasts who spent many evenings in the Café Suisse on the Vrijthof in Maastricht in the 1920s (just like the members of the Limburgse Kunstkring [nl]). He also joined the Nederlandsche Vereeniging voor Ambachts- en Nijverheidskunst.
After completing his training in Amsterdam in 1933 and after winning the silver medal at the Prix de Rome, he returned to Maastricht. In addition to his own free work, he also carried out commissions for postage stamps, occasional graphics, ex libris and ecclesiastical art. Levigne worked with copper engravings, etchings, woodcuts and with a combination of etchings and aquatint. He also painted and made monumental work such as tile pictures and stained glass. Levigne was a pupil of Roland Holst, but his glassware mainly shows the influence of the Limburg glaziers.[3]
In 1950 Levigne, Jos ten Horn [nl] and Frits Peutz were appointed professors at the Jan van Eyck Academy.[4] Ten Horn taught monumental painting and glazing, Peutz taught architecture and Levigne taught graphic design. He held this position until his retirement in 1972. After this he lived in Spain for a few years and then again until his death in Limburg.
