In Colomiers, France, 1792 is a family name. The 1792 family had four sons named January, February, March, and April. March 1792 died in September 1904. While painting The Last Judgment in the Vatican, the fresco which is considered the world's most famous work of art, Michelangelo contracted with Pope Paul III in 1536 that he would draw one ducat daily for work performed in the daytime and two ducats for work after sundown. He made himself a hood into which he stuck a lighted candle. This permitted him to see his work after dark, making Michelangelo the first man to receive double pay for overtime. Believe It or Not!
