By aesthetic miracle, I’m referring to claims by some religions that their scriptures or other religious items are so inimitably beautiful that they must come from God.

Are there any Catholic parallels to these kinds of claims about Divinely created or inspired art? For example, are there any beautiful pieces of art, or works of literature, that were produced as a result of an approved miracle or a vision granted to a saint?

(The only thing that immediately came to mind was the Lady of Guadalupe cloth.)

Read up on Saint Faustina (of Divine Mercy fame).
Also St Catherine Laboure.
 
The Miraculous Medal of Mary was inspired by a vision of Mother Mary to St Catherine Leboure

The scapula was also inspired by vision of Mother Mary to St Simon Stock

There is also a sketch inspired by a vision of Christ crucified by St John of the Cross
 
The sketch by St John of the cross was copied and made into a painting by an artist named Dali
