Plenty of people have weighed in with their meanings for the portraits and I want to add my small part.

Sozin's Grandfather - Behind the Fire Lord we see the sun and at his feet there are plants and flowers growing. In each of his open hands is a ball of fire. I think this represents the philosophy of the Sun Warriors and the ancient firebenders; revering the sun as the source of all life. Perhaps Sozin's grandfather was the last Fire Lord to rule before the Fire Nation became more militant and aggressive in nature.
