Hello there,
I'd like to know if there is a way to have a image wide as the entire page in a two-column layout document.
When I try to stretch the image over the column limit the right part is not visible.

Thanks

Yes, it's possible, but it is not a "good" design.

You can float the image either in front of or behind the text.

But it would be a much more reliable design if you were to add a section
break to end your two-column layout, add your picture in single column, and
add a section break below it to resume your two-column layout.

That way you will be able to balance your columns properly, and you do not
risk text disappearing behind the picture.

Cheers
