The origin of this painting dates back to its creation as a commissioned piece for the inauguration of a hang selling ginseng and traditional Chinese medicine located in the "Nam Pak Hong" area (Bonhams Strand and Wing Lok Street) within Hong Kong's Sheung Wan district. Several months later after its completion, Pu Ru held an exhibition in Hong Kong and encountered his fellow painter Sun Xingge (1897-1996). During their conversation, Pu Ru conveyed that he rarely executes large-scale paintings and had been pondering about the whereabouts of this particular piece, which he considered as one of his most cherished works. This led Sun Xingge to venture to Sheung Wan and found the painting displayed in a hang on Wing Lok Street. In 1992, due to the owner's departure from Hong Kong, this masterpiece was relocated overseas.
Sun Xingge was a painter hailing from Jieyang, Guangdong Province. He was steeped in a penchant for art nurtured by his father Sun Shumei, an expert of medicine fond of collecting painting and calligraphy. Sun Xingge's artistic voyage began in Shanghai and was honored with Wu Changshuo (1844-1927) and Gao Jianfu (1879-1951) as the "Three Modern Masters of Painting" by Liangyou Huabao (The Young Companion). He held a solo exhibition at Sun Yat-Sen Library of Guangdong Province in 1948 and moved to Hong Kong in 1949. During 1955-1956, he sojourned in Southeast Asia and hosted exhibitions in Singapore and Malaysia. In 1960s and 1970s, he continued holding exhibitions in Hong Kong.
A large-scale horizontal landscape comparable to the present lot can be found in Chen-chih Huang, Three Masters Crossing the Sea: The Essential Exhibition of Color Ink Painting of Zhang Daqian, Pu Ru, and Huang Chunpi (Taipei: Chan Liu Art Gallery and Museum, 2010) p. 189.
此鴻幅山水鉅製乃1958年溥心畬應邀，專為賀香港南北行一參茸商鋪新張開業而作。同年冬，溥心畬於曼谷及香港舉辦畫展。寓港期間，與同儕十萬山人孫星閣（1897-1996）聚晤，談及是作，稱其為平生罕作之得意大作，心念之甚。孫星閣遂走訪南北商行，於永樂街尋得，但見青峰赭嶂，堂堂而掛。市鄽之中，猶有清泠之色，瀯瀯之聲。1992年，是作藏家移居海外，攜之同往。
為尋此作下落功不可沒的孫星閣乃二十世紀著名畫家，與吳昌碩及高劍父齊名，被《良友畫報》譽為"現代三大畫家"。孫星閣生於廣東揭陽，其父孫樹梅行醫濟世，雅好蒐藏書畫。大學時期，孫星閣於上海攻讀文學，與藝苑雅士交結，藝名漸起。1948年，孫星閣於廣州中山圖書館舉辦個展，並於1949年移居香港。五十年代中期，旅居星馬泰，於獅城、大馬、檳城等地舉行畫展。六十至七十年代，亦持續於香港舉辦展覽。
與此拍品尺幅、題材及風格差可比擬者，見黃承志等編著《渡海三家張大千、溥心畬、黃君璧彩墨精華特展》（台北：長流畫廊及美術館，2010年），頁189，下圖《海嶽千重》。
