VATICAN CHANGING FRESCOS

Why did the Vatican change this Michelanglo fresco? The position of mother and child has been completely changed, they even changed the colors as well. In the unrestored fresco you can see the woman's right arm, then in the restored fresco the left arm as taken prominence.

They have even added a bangle to her arm. The name of this particular fresco is not clear. [1] So if you know the name of it please feel free to share.

This is clearly not a simple cleaning and restoration process when so much has been changed.
