If you had iCloud Photos turned on before it was stolen, you can login to icloud.com and go to the Photos app there. Also, if you turn on iCloud Photos on a replacement iPhone, the photos will automatically sync with it.

See: Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support


If you didn't have iCloud Photos turned on but do have an iCloud backup, you can use the backup to setup a replacement iPhone from iCloud but you cannot otherwise view the contents of the backup. Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support
