Commentary

Riza Pahlavi Shah (26/10/1919-27/07/1980) modernise son pays après la seconde guerre mondiale. La réforme agraire qu'il organise au profit de la paysannerie et aux dépens des immenses terres du clergé lui vaut la haine inexpiable de celui-ci. Dans la lignée de Louis XVI et de Nicolas II, il doit sa chute à son manque de fermeté contre des opposants parfaitement organisés, à son souci du paraître et des affaires étrangères au détriment des problèmes domestiques.
Cette représentation du lion dans le soleil est une allégorie remontant à la plus ancienne astrologie où la naissance alors que la constellation du lion est dans le soleil indique une destinée de pouvoir.
Riza Pahlavi Shah (26/10/1919-27/07/1980) modernized his country after the Second World War. The agrarian reform he organized for the benefit of the peasantry and at the expense of the immense lands of the clergy earned him the inexpiable hatred of the latter. In the tradition of Louis XVI and Nicholas II, he owes his fall to his lack of firmness against perfectly organized opponents, to his concern for appearances and foreign affairs to the detriment of domestic problems. This representation of the lion in the sun is an allegory dating back to the oldest astrology where birth while the constellation of the lion is in the sun indicates a destiny of power
