User:Chilannan put this on their own talk page as an explanation for the change in names (which do not match the filenames):

According to BBC "Landmarks of Western Art" Series,

"From Rococo to Revolution", the host, Tim Martin specifically pointed out the tablets depict the four seasons, babies with garlands playing in the field,it's Summer;for Autumn, we see the harvest; for Winter, it's wine making; and for Spring,babies fanning the flames to bring warmth to the new season.

The changes were made accordingly.
