THE FALL OF THE DAMNED (1620) by PETER PAUL RUBENS

It's also known as the "Fall of the Rebel Angels", which could mean that this is when Lucifer is cast out from heaven, along with all the angels who supported him. They've lost their wings, and they're shown with some of their sins to show how bad they are in God's eyes.

Upon a close examination of the faces of the individuals in the descent, none appear particularly apprehensive, more resigned to their fate; however, some appear as if their faces have been twisted into the forms of the creatures that await them below.

This makes me think that this is when Lucifer's followers start to turn into demons, bad guys, and even evil spirits, getting cursed for believing what they believe in (who says God is all-encompassing?)

If this is correct, this painting suggests that paganism poses an existential threat to Christianity through the representation of demons. The use of satyr-like creatures is a literal and visual rejection of traditional beliefs.
