I heard that wasn’t a hired hand. Granny just decided the (priceless, historical, one-of-a-kind, centuries-old masterpiece) artwork needing some “touching up” and so, proactively, but without permission (or any other such formality) just whipped out the paint and starting “repairing” it.

Yes. She took it upon herself to ruin restore the fresco. She was not hired. She was not asked. She was not given permission.
But it gets worse. There's been a surge of visitors to the church, which has started charging a 1 fee for people to come see it, so as to raise money for a proper restoration. And guess what? The lady who ruined restored the thing is asking for royalties from what the church is raising, arguing that she's responsible for their income.
*sigh*
