The world's sexiest math teacher is giving us a lesson in art with his new stunning GQ Italy cover photo. Pietro Boselli was chosen by the magazine to channel Michelangelo's David for the magazine's first every lenticular printed cover. For those not familiar, lenticular printing creates an image that changes when the viewer moves from side to side. You can see this in action in the third image in this Instagram post.

My first @gqitalia cover! Printed on lenticular paper, superimposing Michelangelo’s masterpiece “David”, the ultimate symbol of Renaissance and classical perfection. I am humbled. Thank you to the team behind this fashion editorial shot in 3D for the first time.

As I'm sure is the case with most viewers, I was truly, genuinely hoping that swiping through these photos posted to Instagram would lead to a lenticular of David's ass and Pietro's ass. It would have been the best back cover! I shouldn't even mention the darker and more twisted part of me that thought "Why not the penises? It's art after all." But it looks like the folks at GQ Italy have never heard of a little thing called art appreciation because we sadly don't get any nudity from either Pietro or David here.

However. I will absolutely not complain about seeing Pietro's smooth and sculpted bod along with his super sexy happy trail. Also, if those nipples aren't perking you up on this slow ass Thursday, there might be no hope for you. Now we just have to think of what other hot celebrities we want to mirror famous works of art! Just spitballing here, but would Nick and Joe Jonas want to take on this?*
