It shows a scene with St. Francis of Assis; a very detailed painting of him with animals. One can almost see the individual eyelashes on the subjects that is how detailed it is. I thought it was El Greco or Velaquez but have not see anything like that in their works.
Anyone have any idea?

From the description you provide it sounds like an Italian Renaissance painting, rather an Impressionist. But that is just a guess.
One of my favourites of Francis is Caravaggio's 'St. Francis in Ecstasy'
I <3 Caravaggio!
