Ingenio et arti (from Latin: For Science and Art[1]) is a Danish medal awarded to prominent Danish and foreign scientists and artists.[2] The honour, a personal award of the Monarch, was instituted by King Christian VIII in 1841[3] and could be awarded to women as well as men, e.g. to Bertha Wegmann in 1892 and Emilie Ulrich in 1917.[4][5]
The medal is awarded irregularly,[1] on average less than twice per year,[3] and was most recently (as of 2013) awarded to Hans Edvard Nørregård-Nielsen mag.art., art historian, writer and until 2013, Chairman of the New Carlsberg Foundation.[6] Other recipients include artists Anna Ancher and Bjørn Nørgaard, writer Karen Blixen and ballet dancer Kirsten Simone.[2]
