 Wethey and other scholars rejected the notion that Crete took any part in his formation and supported the elimination of a series of works from El Greco's "oeuvre".Since 1962 the discovery of the "Dormition of the Virgin" and an extensive archival research initiated by other scholars, such as Nikolaos Panayotakis, Pandelis Prevelakis and Maria Constantoudaki, gradually convinced the academic world that Wethey's assessments were not entirely correct, and that his catalogue decisions may have distorted the perception of the whole nature of El Greco's origins, development and "oeuvre".The discovery of the "Dormition" led to the attribution of three other signed works of "Doménicos" to El Greco ("Modena Triptych", "St. Luke Painting the Virgin and Child", and "The Adoration of the Magi") and then to the acceptance of more works as authentic – some signed, some not (such as "The Passion of Christ (Pietà with Angels)" painted in 1566), – which were brought into the group of early works of El Greco.
