The "Stories of SS Peter and Paul" is a notable altarpiece that features a detailed depiction of the Crucifixion of St. Peter and St. Paul Ascending into Heaven, created by the German Renaissance artist Hans von Kulmbach (also known as Hans Suess or Hans von Külmbach). Born around 1480 in Kulmbach, Bavaria, Hans von Kulmbach was a pupil of the famed German painter Albrecht Dürer and is known for his work as a painter and woodcut artist. His style is characterized by its vivid color, attention to detail, and incorporation of Northern Renaissance artistic principles.

The altarpiece itself is a testament to the religious fervor and artistic richness of the period, showcasing the martyrdom and sainthood of two of the most important figures in early Christianity: Saints Peter and Paul. The left panel of the altarpiece illustrates the Crucifixion of St. Peter, who, according to Christian tradition, was crucified upside down in Rome under Emperor Nero's rule. This scene is often depicted in Christian art to symbolize Peter's humility and his unworthiness to die in the same manner as Jesus Christ.

On the right, the panel depicts St. Paul Ascending into Heaven, a scene less commonly represented in art. St. Paul, known for his epistles and missionary journeys, is shown in the moment of his rapture or assumption, which is not described in the New Testament but is a subject of theological speculation and artistic interpretation.

The altarpiece is a significant work not only for its religious significance but also for its artistic value. Hans von Kulmbach's use of color, composition, and his ability to convey the emotional intensity of the scenes contributes to the overall impact of the piece. The altarpiece serves as a valuable example of the crossroads between Gothic tradition and the emerging Renaissance style in Northern Europe.

The "Stories of SS Peter and Paul" altarpiece is a piece that reflects the religious narratives of the time and provides insight into the artistic conventions and innovations of the Northern Renaissance. It remains an important work for the study of German Renaissance art and the veneration of Saints Peter and Paul in Christian iconography.
