This bowdlerization was done by the artist Daniele da Volterra, henceforth known as Il Braghettone, 'the breeches maker'. The frescoes were only partly restored to their original stage in the 1980’s. 5/6
We know from records he eschewed luxuries, dressed slovenly & took little care over his appearance. He even exhibited a badly broken nose. Here’s a bust of him by Volterra (1564-6). He was deeply religious but also gay. He sublimated his urges in his art.
We're getting spoiled by @ChCh_Oxford lately. Another recent addition to Digital Bodleian from their collections is this 1456 manuscript copy of Virgil's Eclogues and Georgics, produced in Ferrara by Matteo Contugi of Volterra: https://t.co/ZbnihsUVyR
