In 1764, Felice Boscarati joined the Verona painting academicians and began creating sacred-themed works requested by English and German clients. In those years he also tried his hand at genre painting, producing a series of works for the noble families of Verona.
In 1776, he moved permanently to Venice and in 1780 he was appointed official painter of the prosecutor of San Marco, Giorgio Pisani.
Among his great works, the altarpiece for the parish church of Torri del Benaco in Verona stands out, the altarpiece with San Vincenzo Ferrer resurrecting a child in the parish church of Colà in Lazise and the canvases with the miracles of Sant'Antonio, originally in oratory built by Giovanni Donato Gazzola.
He died in Venice in 1807.
