He takes the stories as starting points for his own genius.
I think you may need to look again and, this time, don't expect a slavish retelling. Like all artists, including Shakespeare, he only is using the source as an inspiration.
The story of the criminal who became a saint is eternal, as is the one about the contemporary of Giotto, or the one about the poor man who landed in the septic tank full of shit.
For painting lovers, it's wonderful to see where PPP is referencing Michaelangelo, Rafael, Leonardo...
