Plato would call the physical world inferior to the "spiritual beauty" if there even is one, assuming that theres even a truth in believing spirit atomism
as well as socrates, a dog of plato, who already looks like a dog, called that the physical and face is a distraction from the beauty of within

Saint Thomas Aquinas, an important theist also distinguished the physical and metaphysical, holding a belief in that spiritual beauty is of higher order then physical, even though the only beauty that is tangable is physical

Immanuel Kant, following the footsteps of pato made the system of a divine beauty being better then a physical beauty more complicated but its origins remain stupid, not going to go in depth to kant and his followers bc they all follow a false pretender

Theres alot more but i feel most other ones are either just fans of kant or plato
