Fullpage picture in two column layout

I'd like to insert a picture (figure) into a document which is using a two-column layout. However, I want it to take one whole page and not be centered on one of the columns. Currently if I add a [p] modifier to the figure, the whole image lands on the last page, instead in the middle of the document.

How can I force one page to switch back to a single-column layout and insert a single big picture there?

To supplement @Crowley's answer, to avoid pagebreak after implementation. Instead of using \twocolumn, use this package instead \usepackage{multicol}. Then, 

  \begin{multicols}{2}
   \section Write or place anything you want
    \end{multicols}

This works for me!
