Ingenio et Arti

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ingenio et Arti (from Latin: For Spirit and Art) is a Danish medal awarded to prominent Danish and foreign scientists and artists.[1] The honour, a personal award of the Monarch, was instituted by King Christian VIII in 1841[2] and could be awarded to women as well as men.[3]

The medal is awarded irregularly,[4] on average less than twice per year,[2] and was most recently (as of 2013) awarded to Hans Edvard Nørregård-Nielsen mag.art., art historian, writer and until the end of 2013 Chairman of the New Carlsberg Foundation.[5] Other recipients include artists Anna Ancher and Bjørn Nørgaard, writer Karen Blixen and ballet dancer Kirsten Simone.[1]
