"Heiliger Petrus mit Stifter, dem Abt Johann Lang zu Castel" is a woodcut by German Renaissance artist Sebald Beham. Dated before 1524, it depicts Saint Peter holding the keys to Heaven. Standing to his left is a kneeling abbot Johann Lang of Castel, a patron who commissioned this work. The fine detail and the use of linear perspective in this work are characteristic of Beham's style. The image is now in the collection of the Städel Museum.
