Who painted the fig leaves over Michaelangelo's work in the Sistine Chapel?

Why is God mooning us in the panel, The creation of the sun and moon? To depict Genesis 1, 16-17.

Who painted the fig leaves over Michaelangelo's work in the Sistine Chapel?
I believe this was done by the artist Correggio on orders of the Pope of that period, who was offended by the genital depiction.
