Ingenio et Arti

Ingenio et Arti (from Latin: For Science and Art ) is a Danish medal awarded to prominent Danish and foreign scientists and artists. The honour, a personal award of the Monarch, was instituted by King Christian VIII in 1841 and could be awarded to women as well as men, e.g. to Bertha Wegmann in 1892 and Emilie Ulrich in 1917.

The medal is awarded irregularly, on average less than twice per year, 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. Other recipients include artists Anna Ancher and Bjørn Nørgaard, writer Karen Blixen and ballet dancer Kirsten Simone.
