The way I approach it is to ask if I think a different species, from a different planet (say) would b to find the same things 'beautiful'. So, while I think that other species would be able to verify properties of iron atoms, I do NOT think it likely AT ALL that they would see the same things as beautiful. For that matter, why would have the same range of color vision or acoustic responses? Would I expect them to find sunsets beautiful? maybe, but maybe not.
So, no, I don't expect beauty is some property of objects. It is more a property of *us* and how we respond to those objects.
