Are both of the following expressions correct?
------ the following ------------
I haven't seen more beautiful a scene than this.
I haven't seen a scene more beautiful than this. |

The first one may be correct (though I'm not completely sure), but it wouldn't be commonly used.
The second one also makes sense, but you would mostly use ''I haven't seen a seen as beautiful as this before''.

Ok. Let's change some words and see what happens.
Pretty Sky
1) I haven't seen prettier sky than this.
2) I haven't seen a prettier sky than this.
3) I haven't seen a sky prettier than this.
Now, it's easier to see that number one is wrong.
