Objective Beauty

Question

Can I find in the Torah, the support for the philosophical view of the objective existence of the idea of beauty? I’m sure, we have the support for the objective existance of good:
“… and God saw that it was good.”

Answer

Sure, in this week’s Torah portion (Gen 12:11) and several other instances (see Rebecca and Rachel’s descriptions, for example)
