Vermeer's reputation and works have been featured in both literature and in films. [[Tracy Chevalier]]'s novel ''[[Girl with a Pearl Earring (novel)|Girl with a Pearl Earring]]'' (1999) and the 2003 [[Girl with a Pearl Earring (film)|film of the same name]] present a fictional account of Vermeer's creation of the famous painting and his relationship with the equally fictional model.

Many artists are inspired by the famous painter. For example, culinary photographer Aimee Twigger draws on Vermeer's chiaroscuro for her gustatory journeys through recipes.<ref>{{Cite news|title=Refugee camp image wins food photo contest |work=BBC News |date=28 April 2020 |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/in-pictures-52453683 |access-date=29 May 2022}}</ref>
